What current research areas are you interested in?
Which ones have the potential for growth in the future?
i.e. what is likely to be of interest to research institutes and/or academic departments (or even the commercial world) when you complete the postdoc? Beware of the bandwagon effect though, if you can see it approaching it is possibly too late to jump on.
Work through Activity 1 in your workbook. The main outcome of this section should be to have brainstormed as many possibilities as you are capable of. It might be useful if you do this with a colleague or friend. It doesn’t matter how strange or way off some of your ideas might seem at the present moment, the main thing is to generate as many future ideas as you can.
Once you have generated ideas you need to see how you can build a concept by putting the ideas together.
From this section, you may not have come up with the definitive answer, but it is have helped you start to expand your future possibilities.
