I’ve just been finishing off my final piece for the Nature Post-doc Journal<\/a>, and it occurred to me that they’re probably looking for people to replace me next year. Sure enough, they are<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Postdoc Journal gives four postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to each write a monthly journal entry for Naturejobs. They will chart their ups and downs over the course of a year and describe how their experiences shape their future career choices. Some occasional blogging may be requested as well.<\/p>\n

We ask that applicants provide three things:<\/p>\n

  1. A cover letter saying why you want to be considered and what would make you a good journal keeper. Include your institutional affiliation, general area of research, the focus of your graduate degree, and how long you’ve been a postdoc.<\/LI>
    \n
  2. A sample first entry, 250 words long, that introduces yourself, identifies the biggest career question you will face in the upcoming year and how you plan to search for an answer.<\/LI>
    \n
  3. Your CV.<\/LI><\/OL><\/p>\n

    Deadline for applications is December 17, 2007.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    More details, including how to apply, are found on the competition page<\/a>. I really should have looked this up sooner, because there’s less than a week to go before the final deadline, but if the idea of writing in Nature<\/i> appeals to any postdocs out there, you should definitely consider giving it a go (if it makes you feel any better, I still hadn’t written my audition piece<\/a> at a similar stage last year). Who knows, next year it could be you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
