Undertaking an international postdoc is the goal for many lucky PhD graduates. In fact, it is often seen as the only way to progress your career.

The week of supervision
Supervision is one of the most important aspect of a PhD. How you make it through the woods of the doctoral canditure depends so much on the company you keep along the way.

The majority are women (including our director), and we are a mixture of localContinue reading “The week of our first journal club”

The week of the assembly
It’s not sexy and there are no tandem bikes, but the most significant thing that happened this week, for the first time, was work related. My research position at URV is part of UERRA, an EU funded program that stands for Uncertainties in Ensembles of Regional ReAnalyses (acronyms are hilarious). Reanalyses are not the jobContinue reading “The week of the assembly”
