Episode 3 of ‘spotLights’ is now live

Another episode of spotLights has just aired! At spotLights, we highlight the (early-career) researchers and the stories behind the latest preprints.

In this third episode, we talk to Dr Nafisa Jadavji and Dr Chris Smith about their recent preprint entitled “An updated and expanded characterization of the biological sciences academic job market”. Dr Nafisa Jadavji is an Assistant Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, as well as a Research Professor at the University of Arizona, and Carleton University. Dr Chris Smith is a Postdoctoral Affairs Program Administrator at Virginia Tech.

We hope this episode provides some guidance to postdocs navigating the job market. Check out the preLight post that accompanies this episode as well as the data dashboard the authors have made publicly available: https://faculty-job-market-collab.org/dashboard/
