Beyond the Book

This panel includes the Director of UNC's Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, an Assistant Professor who recently transitioned from a postdoctoral position into a tenure track faculty post, and a current postdoctoral fellow. Discussion will range across topics from why to do a postdoc, how to pick a postdoc, insights about postdoctoral research and the transition to faculty from our current and former postdocs. This panel will debunk the myth that postdocs are not done or needed in the Humanities.

Join us for a conversation about doing innovation, digital, and public humanities research. Our panel includes faculty and administrative practitioners in each area of focus who will share their experiences with doing research in these areas providing insight for those interested in starting research programs as well as those already engaged in these research areas.
