Postdocs: Building Resilience and Coping with Setbacks New
The life of a postdoc can be inherently stressful, with making applications for research grants, publishing and maintaining a work life balance, as well as coping with the precariousness of temporary contracts or visa regulations. Postdocs need an ample supply of resilience to deal with the ups and downs of being a professional researcher.
The aim of this workshop is to help you build emotional resilience by further developing coping strategies to overcome challenges. We will focus on what constitutes resilience, identifying your current coping strategies, and using theories of resilience to strengthen your ability to deal with whatever life and work throws at you, whilst maintaining a good level of wellbeing.
Outcomes
- Recognise that you already have emotional resilience and use strategies on an ongoing basis.
- Cultivate further effective coping strategies for various contexts.
- Discover how to use a range of tools and techniques to increase your resilience.
