The Office of University Postdoctoral Affairs (OUPA) is pleased to announce the third annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium, which will be held on Thursday, March 27, 2025, in Sayles Hall and Petteruti Lounge. The symposium will feature a poster session and reception from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Sayles Hall.
This poster session aims to provide an opportunity for professional development, networking with peers from different disciplinary areas, and increasing the visibility of postdoctoral research at Brown. Brown postdoctoral appointees from all departments and fields of research, as well as postdoctoral appointees at Brown-affiliated hospitals, are highly encouraged to participate.
As a token of appreciation, every poster session participant will receive a The North Face Connector Laptop Backpack as a “thank you” gift. The reception accompanying the session will include appetizers, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, the best research posters will be recognized with awards at the end of the poster session.
