Career Café

The YPA Career Cafe series features panel discussions on important aspects of career development. These events bring together expert panelists of Yale faculty members to discuss a particular topic and answer postdoc questions. Past events have covered setting up a lab, negotiation strategies, and career transition grant mechanisms​.

Currently, The Career Cafe is held bi-monthly as a panel discussion with individuals at various stages of each specific career path. Events alternate between academic and non-academic careers, to help postdocs explore career options, gain insight into different career paths, discover more about the transition out of a postdoc position, and the career trajectories. 

Upcoming event: Wednesday, February 8, 2023, 5.15 - 6.15 pm

Please register here and submit any questions you may have for the panel before the event.  We will discuss everything from work-life balance to career progression and best/worst parts of the job.
