Making the Transition from Grad Student to Postdoc in Education Research 

 
Are you a graduate student looking for guidance on where to go next in your Discipline Based 
Education Research (DBER) career? Are you a postdoc or post-postdoc with wisdom to share 
about life after grad school?  
 
DBER-SiT​, a community of DBER Scholars-in-Training, has an exciting new event just for 
you! 
 
“M​ aking the Transition from Grad Student to Postdoc in Education Research​”​ is an 
upcoming virtual event that will provide a space for graduate students to learn more 
about how to take the next steps towards a career in this field and network with postdocs 
and other professionals currently working in DBER.  
 
The event features two parts: a large panel discussion with DBER faculty and small 
break-out sessions with current DBER postdocs.  
1. The professional panel discussion with postdoc recruiters and people with careers 
beyond a DBER postdoc will answer your questions about how to best represent 
yourself in your job applications.  
2. The small group discussions (via breakout rooms) will allow graduate students and 
postdocs to have productive in-depth conversations about the many routes 
available for a career in DBER.  
 
We invite graduate students and postdocs from a variety of academic backgrounds and 
career interests to participate.
