Postdoc Power Hour (PoPoH)

The Postdoc Power Hour (PoPoH) is a series of monthly one-hour online events designed specifically for postdocs and other research staff who are not students, and takes place on the first Friday of every month, 11 am to 12 pm, via Teams.

Each PoPoH session covers:

  • a brief overview of career and training support available to postdocs and other research staff at the Medical Sciences Division
  • a 30-minute lecture by an expert on the session’s theme
  • ideas for simple things you can do now for your career and work/life balance, followed by a short breakout room session (to decide on one thing you can do for your career and one thing you can do to build your resilience in the next month)

Session themes will focus on career planning, communication skills, project & people management, research funding, innovation & business opportunities, as well as health – all tailored to postdocs and other research staff who are not students.

To request specific themes for future sessions, please get in touch via courses@medsci.ox.ac.uk.
