PostdocTraining is an independent organization dedicated to supporting the professional and personal growth of researchers in academia. Founded by Kerstin Fritsches, a neuroscience researcher, and Head Trainer of PostdocTraining, the organization was born out of a personal need for practical guidance in planning, strategies, and skills crucial to researchers' careers, which are often overlooked during a PhD. Postdoctoral fellowships can be overwhelming, with researchers having to manage their own funds, projects, and industry sponsors.

However, comprehensive resources and guidance were lacking. Fritsches realized the need for a broader perspective and support for personal development and practical skills that would help researchers build successful careers. With a focus on early career researchers, PostdocTraining offers a range of services and programs geared towards career planning and success, including workshops and training sessions.

Their tailored approach aims to address the specific needs of individuals and institutions in navigating the academic maze and thriving in their chosen fields. Through PostdocTraining, researchers can access valuable resources and expert guidance to enhance their professional journey and unlock their full potential
