2024 Postdoc Research Symposium
Unifying the UVA Postdoc Community

May 20th, 2024 | UVA Alumni Hall

 

The UVA Postdoc Association and the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs are joining together again to co-host the 2024 UVA Postdoc Research Symposium at Alumni Hall. This will be a one-day event highlighting the many types of projects being undertaken by UVA postdocs and will feature a keynote presentation by the Chair of the Board of Directors for the National Postdoc Association, Dr. Caleb McKinney.

By bringing together our researchers from different labs, buildings, and fields of study, we hope you will enjoy each other’s work, gain new ways of thinking about your own projects, and build additional bonds at UVA. Please join us for a day of interdisciplinary talks and networking opportunities with postdocs from across all disciplines at UVA.

Highlights

This year the UVA Postdoctoral Research Symposium Committee has partnered with the UVA Library to publish the collection of abstracts presented at the symposium in LibraOpen, the open access repository of UVA.
