I'm a post doc, just getting over the post-doc-slump that was the first 8months post-indoctrination and getting my bearings on a real-world-crap-pay-holy-shit-am-i-busy new job. Now I am back in the game of training with purpose...
I'm curious if there are others out there in Slowtwitchland that are hoping to compete at a high level in long course but are also trying to be young-professional-academics (particularly engineers, but if you're not, I won't discriminate). I would love to pick your brain about:
--what you do for training (hours/week)
--if you have sacrificed race goals during your post-doc training
--where you sacrifice time
--what you want out of your career
--what type of institution you are at (Ivy league, national lab, etc)
--if you are in a relationship or manage it all on your own (no, I'm not interested; but I'm engaged to another academe who is not in my same time zone)
We are a small community, and my guess is if you are a post-doc, then you aren't trolling ST. But, it's worth a shot!
