Postdoc Academic Chats are monthly lunchtime seminars for postdocs across the university that recognize the specific aspects of the postdoc experience. Led by Dr. Rick Reis, the Postdoc Academic Chat series features lively presentations and discussions on relevant issues and strategies, such as how to generate the ideas that are most likely to get funded, how to negotiate for resources with colleagues, and why it helps to do a teaching postdoc. Attendees are asked to read three very short articles on the topic prior to the event.
Postdoc academic chats are limited to 40 people and lunch is served. Graduate students are welcome to attend if space is available.
