3. Financial offers for institutional postdocs are generally quite flexible. Don’t let your decision come down to which position has offered you a bigger research budget. Especially if you have multiple offers, ask for what you want in negotiations!

2. For the other positions that you are still excited about, write to them to say you’ve gotten another offer but you’re still very interested in the position and wondering if they have any updates. If the institution is comparable, name it so they know who they’re competing with!

1. Once you get one offer you’re excited about, please write to withdraw your application from other positions that you’re not as excited about. At the very least do this once you’ve accepted another offer.

I don’t think they’d be able to justify and defend analysis choices/motivation for the work, but they stand to gain much more from a first-author paper than I do. Who should be first author?
