TH-cam just recommended me your channel and I watched most of the videos again. Really good content, you should really start posting againg, Dr. Darcy!
I am glad you shared these tips with us. So, how long should be the starting period, when you are new to the place and still figuring out how things work and following what the PI says ?
@@gradschooladvice9537 The reason I am asking is that I have just started my first postdoc position a couple of weeks ago, and the research area is new to me. Yet, the PI is keeping pushing me to do a lot of stuff as if I were working on that for a long time. Anyway, thanks for your reply
Hi, thanks for sharing this useful video. I have a question, is it make sense to reapply for a postdoc position that I have been rejected after interview about 6 months ago? They're advertising that post again!
Yes! Shows determination. Ensure to go in well prepared and address reason for rejection from last time. Unless they rejected because you had 2 publications and they wanted a minimum of 5 to 10. Show things that can practically be changed in 6mo to make it believable.
It depends why they didn’t want to accept you the first time around. If it was cultural fit, transferable techniques, etc that wouldn’t change even in six months. If they said they felt you weren’t quite ready and you have since published more, then it would be worth it.
Unfortunately, there’s not much for me to make a video about with this since it will be case by case and up to the professor how they want to draft their recommendations.

Thanks a lot! I liked the way you make a powerpoint to track the sudy with menor! It was a really helpful advice! Thanks again!

Depends on the person and how new the area of research is. I would say it could be a year before someone is really going on their own.

Yes sometimes the PIs can be pushy. Just keep open communication if something is new and you need some additional help.
In our lab, there is a good reason why we are called postdogs.

Sir, can you please make a video on "reference letter to a grad student by PI for applying postdoc position"
You mean what the PI should write about you?
@@gradschooladvice9537 Yes sir

No problem sir. Thank you
