My Experience on the Postdoc Market in Astrobiology/Astrophysics

Ben Pearce
My Experience on the Postdoc Market in Astrobiology/Astrophysics I’m writing this as an autobiography. There may be some advice sprinkled in, but this isn’t an guide on how to successfully snatch a postdoc position. This is just my story, take it as you will. Let’s start at the end of the story, like a Tarantino film. The happy ending: I was lucky enough to get 3 postdoc offers; one of which was a big fellowship and my top choice. Now, let’s roll back time. I knew I wanted to pursue an academic.
