About

The RPC represents the interest of all postdoctoral fellows working at Radboudumc. It is a source of information regarding postdoc related issues. In addition, it creates a platform to facilitate discussions amongst postdocs at the same point of their career and promotes local collaboration and networking opportunities. The RPC includes postdocs working at Radboudumc. The platform is run by postdocs and is intended to support postdocs and final year PhD candidates.

As a last year PhD candidate you probably will start to explore in what discipline you would like to continue your career after you completed your PhD. Do you want to continue in academia, switch to industry, consultancy? What kind of options are out there? What to expect?

The Radboudumc Postdoc Council represents the interest of all postdoctoral fellows and last year PhD candidates working at Radboudumc. Several times a year RPC organizes lunch meetings and pizza and beer events in which different topics are addressed including career opportunities in- and outside academia, grant writing, improve your soft skills, scientific integrity and more.

If you want to get informed about upcoming activities please sign up by sending us an e-mail for our mailing list and we will include you.
