NM Postdoc Research Symposium

Annual New Mexico Postdoc Research Symposium 

An annual Research Symposium supporting and encouraging postdocs across the state of New Mexico to present their research, network, exchange ideas, meet future employers and collaborate. 

Friday, April 26th 9-4pm, University of New Mexico  

 

UNM is hosting the only statewide research symposium for postdocs on Friday, April 26, 2024. Similar to last year we are expecting participants from national labs and other academic institutions, as well as attendees from industry. This is the perfect event for you to attend if you are looking for a new position, a highly-skilled doctoral level employee, opportunities to collaborate, or you would like to share your research and see what other research is happening in our state! While abstract submission is only open to postdocs, faculty, staff, and grad students are all welcome! See links below for abstract submission and application for travel awards for presenters coming from outside of Albuquerque.
