What
is
it
like
to
be
a
postdoc
or
new
faculty
member
in
the
sciences?
This
series
of
guides
and
meditations
is
a
great
way
to
learn
about
such
things,
and
it
is
based
on
workshops
cosponsored
by
the
Burroughs
Wellcome
Fund
and
the
Howard
Hughes
Medical
Institute
(HHMI).
The
full-length
book
offered
here,
titled
"Making
The
Right
Moves:
A
Practical
Guide
to
Scientific
Management
for
Postdocs
and
New
Faculty,"
can
be
downloaded
in
its
entirety
or
as
individual
chapters.
The
chapter
titles
include
"Obtaining
and
Negotiating
a
Faculty
Position"
and
"Staffing
Your
Laboratory."
Additionally,
there
are
some
equally
fine
stand-alone
resources,
such
as
the
trenchant
"Writing
a
Letter
of
Recommendation."
The
site
is
rounded
out
by
the
Additional
Resources
section,
which
contains
a
number
of
professional
development
resources
crafted
by
the
HHMI
and
other
peer
organizations.
