UNIGE POSTDOC DAY

May 27, 2021

I am co-organizing a one-day meeting between members of The Faculty of Science of the University of Geneva.

We invited three key-note speakers to present their work and to share with us their scientific visions and perspectives. They all have brilliant and outstanding careers and will share their paths with us. They do not just do amazing science, they are also committed to improving different dimensions of the scientific system.

We organized a "round-table" discussion about Careers options, including Academics, Industry, and Publishing. For this discussion, we invited former Postdoctoral researchers of our University who are now successfully developing their careers in different positions.

There will also be contributed talks of postdoctoral researchers of our University, and a poster exhibition, with prizes for both, the best talk and the best poster presentation.

STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT ONE!
