Experiencing conflicts with supervisors or departments? You’re not alone.
It’s not uncommon for postdoctoral researchers to face challenges or conflicts in their working relationships — for example, with supervisors, departments, or colleagues. At PostdocNL, we understand that these situations can be stressful and impact your job satisfaction and hamper career development.
What can you do?
- Find support within your local postdoc network
As a member of your local postdoc network, you will join a network of researchers with similar experiences. Connecting with fellow postdocs can provide advice and validation. - Make use of our resources and information
On our PostdocNL website, we offer practical tips and guidelines on how to handle conflicts, where to find formal support, and steps you can take to resolve issues. - Join our workshops and events
Our gatherings provide a safe space to learn about communication, conflict management, and rights within academia. They are also great opportunities to expand your network. Stay tuned for our workshops and events.
