Here you find the doctoral student’s profile of Leonardo Negrão. He published results of his doctoral studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and shared the research more widely with a press release.
Kelsey Inouye’s, a former PhD student from the University of Oxford, wrote about her job search an article in the Nature Careers Community. Job search gave her panic attacks and dented her self-esteem. But she learnt to take rejection in her stride.
The following evidence-based strategies helped her to manage her post-PhD imposter syndrome:

The workshop aims at improving non-native English speakers’ academic writing skills by highlighting typical features and composing elements commonly applied and expected by native speakers of English. Participants will be equipped with a textbook written by the trainer that covers all the features introduced during the sessions, they will have ample opportunity to ask individual questions, and they will receive immediate feedback on their own writing. During the workshop we will
reflect on how the character of the English language influences the Anglo-Saxon academic writing style and identify subsequent features in academic texts
highlight pitfalls non-native speakers of English are vulnerable to when writing in English and introduce straightforward strategies to avoid them
present techniques for developing a fluent and lively academic writing style
introduce resources, aids, and methods to enlarge and retain vocabulary
