Interviews usually take place the last Friday of the month around lunchtime and are co-organised by the PDC and local postdoc reps and committees from all Faculty Schools and Centres, to ensure relevance to all. They take place via MS Teams and involve set questions asked by the chair and time for attendees to ask additional questions via the chat. While guests are usually chosen to have a PhD background, all staff and students are welcome.

The December 2020 interview is organised by Claire Tonry, postdoc in the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine, on behalf of the WWIEM Postdoc Career Development Committee (PCDC). It will feature Dr Derek Brazil, Senior Lecturer in the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine, as well as Dr Brian Flatley, Business Strategy and Engagement Director at S3 Connected Health. From a PhD and postdoctoral background developing biomarker panels and assays, Brian has pursued a career in academic and commercial R&D in the area of digital health and is now involved with business development and client engagement.

Registered participants will be sent a Teams link closer to the date but should hold the time in their calendar right away.

It is possible to suggest questions on the booking form, and attendees will be able to ask questions using the MS Teams chat.

If the quality of the sound allows it and the guests agree, the conversation could later be made accessible as a podcast (but cannot be guaranteed).
