SBS Postdoc Association

Many thanks to Dr Johnson, our October speaker, for his engaging and persuasive presentation on…well, engaging and persuasive presentations! It was terrific to see many of you there, and to benefit from your questions and insights as well as our speaker’s.

If you are interested in practicing your job talk or other research presentation at an upcoming SBS Postdoc Association event, please visit our Practice Your Job Talk web form.

We will continue to pursue career preparation and networking in upcoming events (see our November meeting and December Social)–but we need your help. If you are a postdoctoral scholar at UT, particularly in the biological sciences, please fill out our Postdoc Survey–and send it to your colleagues! It takes about 5-9 minutes and will help immensely in planning future events and advocating for postdocs.

As always, if you are interested in information or volunteering, please get in touch with us at UTBioSciPostdoc@gmail.com, via our web form, or directly to any volunteer.

Thanks to all who attended our Fall Inaugural Meeting!  It was thrilling to connect with so many other bio-postdocs at once–and to remember how much we all have in common.

At our September meeting, we were fortunate to host Angela Obolsky from the Office of Graduate Studies; read her coverage of our event on the UT-Austin Grad School Facebook Page.

SBS Postdoc Association volunteers are working on several that came out of that meeting, such as job talk preparation (see our October meeting) and postdoc status within UT-Austin administration.

If these or any other topics pique your interest, please get in touch with us at UTBioSciPostdoc@gmail.com, via our web form, or directly to anyone on our volunteer list.  We can always use extra brainpower!
