Clearly Identify and Pursue Your Postdoctoral Career Goals
The Postdoctoral Professional Development Plan (PPDP)
is a planning tool that helps doctoral students recognize the options available to them after doctorate completion, particularly regarding work or extended study related to their dissertation research. PPDPs provide mentors with information about the doctoral candidate's goals and objectives. PPDPs offer a sequence of actions to guide the mentoring process and improve the student's current performance.
PPDPs are developed, carried out, and improved through four actions for both the candidate and the mentor:
Student's Actions
1. Self-assessment
2. Mentor surveys
3. Construct and share PPDP with mentor; revise as needed
4. Implementation and revision
Mentor's Actions
1. Investigate current and future opportunities
2. Share opportunities with student
3. Check and correct the PPDP
4. Schedule progress checkpoints and revisions
Postdoctoral Professional Development Plans are effective tools that benefit students' productivity, focus, and outcomes (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology; University of Florida).
