Our signature postdoc event, the SBU Postdoc Spotlight, is Thursday, Nov 15th. I hope you'll come out and support your fellow postdocs and learn about their cool research.
Also, some career-related events and news below--including a workshop this Tuesday from our PhD Career Ladder Program on using your network for career exploration. Join us!
1.SBU Postdoc Spotlight is next Thurs, Nov 15 at 4pm
SBU Postdoc Spotlight is our postdoctoral community's signature annual event where we showcase the awesome research performed by our postdoctoral scholars. The Spotlight offers an opportunity to hear about our postdocs' work, across all disciplines, in a series of short, TED-like talks -- in only five minutes!
I hope you'll come out and support our postdoc speakers as they use their training to share their research and vie for best talk prizes sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research.
Spotlight talks will be followed by a reception and award presentation.

1.Have you completed the Postdoc and Research Scientist Info Form??
The Postdoc and Research Scientist Info Form helps the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs track our postdoctoral population, which in turn helps us with our reporting requirements and serving our postdocs better. If you haven't completed it, could you take a few minutes and help us out?
