Description

Reposted from NPA website

Chalk talks are a critical component of academic job searches. Yet, few postdocs have experienced or even observed a chalk talk. In this seminar, you will learn about the structure of a chalk talk, common mistakes, typical questions asked by search committees, and more generally how to communicate your science more effectively for grants, elevator pitches, and poster sessions.

Presenter: Dr. Erik Snapp, Director of Student and Postdoctoral Programs, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus

1:30 – 3 pm; Wed Sept 18th
