Graduate Student Postdoc Seminar

GSPS is regaining its footing after a year of remote working and the oversubscription of classrooms in Spring 2022. More recently it has been primarily a social event, but will hopefully shift back towards more regular schedule of talks and discussions.

Description/Motivation:
The Graduate Student/Postdoc Seminar (GSPS) is a venue where grads and postdocs can give talks in a supportive environment. The topics of these talks can be anything from their own research (either completed, commencing, or in progress),​ career advancement and advice, pedagogy talks, practice talks (qual presentations, job talks, etc.), department updates, practical skills (programming, proposal writing, taxes, personal finance, etc.) or really anything at all!

Broadly, the goals of GSPS are:

  • To promote community between students and postdocs
  • To practice speaking and discussing your research
  • To build confidence asking questions
  • To Learn about topics outside your own research
  • To impart practical knowledge
  • To share fun impractical knowledge
  • To be sociable!
