Description
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs in the Graduate School at the University of Maryland is excited to host the 8th Annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium on Friday, September 27, as the culmination of our activities during National Postdoctoral Appreciation Month.
This year, for the first time, the symposium is a system-wide initiative, representing the collective efforts and collaborative spirit of the entire University System of Maryland (USM). This milestone event is made possible by the invaluable support of LaKeisha Harris, Dean of the School of Graduate Studies and Research at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Jennifer Aumiller, Director of the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars and Director of the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Career and Professional Development at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. We are also delighted to recognize the RISE UPP Alliance, an NSF’s Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative, for its outstanding efforts to diversify STEM faculty through postdoctoral pathways.
The symposium will feature a traditional poster presentation session and an exciting new addition: a Flash Talk session, providing a dynamic platform for postdocs to present their work and network with peers, faculty, and staff!
Symposium Goals
- To recognize and showcase the cutting-edge research conducted by postdocs at the University of Maryland.
- To provide opportunities for postdocs to develop their presentation skills through Flash Talk.
- To foster networking and interaction among postdocs, as well as with faculty and staff from across campus.
