Graduate Student Postdoc Seminar

Location: 544 Campbell Hall

Time: Fridays @ 4:00pm

Description / Motivation:

  • GSPS meets weekly; each hour features a talk by one grad student and one postdoc on their own research.
  • Talks should be ~20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions.
  • Speakers can present work that is fully complete all the way through work in just the beginning stages.
  • Please emphasize background material.
  • (Practice qual talks / job talks are fine to present.)
  • No faculty allowed.
  • GSPS is a good place to…
    • promote community between students and postdocs
    • practice speaking and discussing your research
    • feel comfortable asking lots of questions
    • learn about topics outside your own research
  • If you would like feedback on your presentation, the organizers would be happy to take notes and discuss it with you afterwards (and/or ask other audience members to do so).

Organizers: Daniel Perley & Josh Shiode (please contact us if you have questions)

Thanks for participating in GSPS!
