The Postdoctoral Scholar FOCUS seminar series is a unique opportunity where postdoctoral scholars choose the format of the discussion, and then discuss their research with colleagues from a range of disciplines. This series is:
- Flexible: Postdocs determines the type of discussion or presentation.
- Open: Non-hierarchical; creative discussions and feedback are encouraged.
- Cross-discipline: While research is becoming increasingly specialized, having interdisciplinary discussions opens up new avenues of thought.
- Uplifting: Colleagues support each other and depart with innovative ideas.
- Strategic: These sessions help all participants better strategize next steps, whether in research or presentation methods.
Requirements
- The presenter must bring at least one person to support the discussion. There are no stipulations who that person must be; they can be from the same research group, a lab down the hall, or from a different department or school.
- All discussions are confidential and not recorded, unless desired by the presenter.
