Postdoctoral fellows - Symposium
Postdoctoral Symposium
10 October, 2015
The NCBS/InSTEM Postdoctoral Fellows’ Association announces the first Annual Postdoctoral Symposium. This event is an opportunity specifically for postdoctoral fellows, to present their work and interact with senior faculty members invited from research Institutions and universities across India. The symposium aims to showcase postdoctoral talent and enhance community networking. We hope it would also demonstrate the strength and quality of postdocs in the country. For the first meeting, registration is only open to postdocs from NCBS, InSTEM, IISc and JNCSAR.
Those seeking to advance in academic career tracks are strongly encouraged to apply. Registration for the event is free, but all registered participants are expected to submit an abstract, on the basis of which they will either have to give a talk or present a poster. This is to facilitate quality scientific reviews and discussions from the invited faculty. Registration closed for 2015 symposium.
