The Office of Fellowship Training (OFT) will hold Job Talks practice: 1-2 postdocs who are currently in the job market, will present their job talk (one at a time) to 1-2 faculty members with an audience of their peers. The focus may be academic or industry. After the postdoc presentation/s, the faculty member/s will give critique - what was positive and what could be changed. The field of the evaluator and presenter need not be the same, as the critique will be based on presentation skills rather than content area.

Fellows' Socials
The last social for the 2008-09 academic year was held on Friday, June 19th, 2009 from 4:30 until 5:30pm in the Karp 7 Atrium. We had an "international thank you cake" - in 22 languages, for the fellows. The BINGO organizers decided to "table" the game until September 2009. We'll do this again, with prizes.
In December 2008 we had an international potluck meal. In September 2008 we had an "international welcome cake" - in 22 languages, to welcome fellows for the new academic year.
- Once a month, from September through June, the Office of Fellowship Training hosts "pizza" socials where research and clinical fellows can get together in an informal setting. These are held on alternating Thursday and Friday afternoons, in Karp and Enders, so that all fellows may have an opportunity to attend.

In the spring of 2005, this program was offered for the first time to Children's Hospital Boston research fellows. The spring of 2009 marks the 13th semester for this course offering to Children's postdocs. The purpose of this training is to support a number of postdoctoral research fellows each year for whom this training would increase their productivity in the laboratory. In 2008 a Summer semester was added for those who are currently enrolled in the program. The focus was "Public Speaking and Presentation Skills." The Spring 2009 Semester began the week of April 13 and will last 11 weeks through the week of June 22. An Information Session for new participants was held on March 30 or 31, 2009, although special arrangements can be made if students enter mid-semester. For more information, go to Work and Benefits. PI's must recommend their postdoctoral fellows by e-mailing the Office of Fellowship Training .
