Registration and abstract submission

Registration for 6th Annual Postdoctoctoral Symposium on May 25, 2023 is now closed. All Yale Postdocs and ARSs are welcome to attend talks and the poster session, but food and headshots will be limited to those who registered before the deadline. This will be a hybrid event in OC Marsh Lecture Hall in the Yale Science Building and talks will be streamed on Zoom. 

The postdoc symposium welcomes postdocs and ARSs from a variety of disciplines. As such, presenters should prepare their talks/posters for a broad academic audience and aim to make their research accessible to attendees outside of their specific field. For some tips, please see this page.

There is no strict requirement for poster format, but posters should fit on a 36” x 48” board. Options for printing locally include YPPS, Docuprintnow, TYCO Print, and FedEx printing. You may also use a poster that you already have.

FAQs

Who can register to attend the symposium?

Any Postdoc or Associate Research Scientist at Yale can attend the symposium.

To foster a welcoming environment for Postdocs to network and present, aside from a selected few guests, no PI/faculty members will be in attendance, nor will any graduate or undergraduate students.

Where is the symposium?

The symposium wil be held in OC Marsh Lecture Hall. OC Marsh Lecture Hall is located on the first floor of the Yale Science Building (YSB) on Science Hill (260 Whitney Ave). Enter via southeast corner of YSB across from Kline Geology Laboratory onto the ground floor and walk up the stairs, or enter by the Kline Biology Tower lobby directly to the first floor. Multiple Yale Shuttle stops provide access to Science Hill.
 
 

Who will be presenting?

Any Postdoc or Associate Research Scientist (or equivalent level) can submit an abstract to be considered for presentation. We only ask that you are affiliated to Yale and that you present a project done at Yale (or in a Yale-associated structure). We also welcome presentations that can be of major interest to the community (tools, services, experiences, community improvement, etc).
