Symposium 2022

On Friday September 23^rd, 2022, coinciding with the conclusion of National Postdoc Appreciation Week, we hosted the Inaugural Postdoctoral Symposium to recognize and celebrate the indispensable contributions of our postdocs to the community at Georgia State University. We will host the 2^nd Annual Postdoctoral Symposium (tentatively) on Friday, September 22^nd, 2023!

The 2022 symposium was attended by faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students and featured presentations (posters and talks) from 23 postdocs, representing 9+ departments and centers across GSU, and a keynote address from Dr. Jennifer K. Leavey of Georgia Institute of Technology. We received generous sponsorship from The Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development, The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at The Graduate School, the Neuroscience Institute, the Department of Chemistry, and the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and thanks to these contributions and a panel of faculty judges we were able to award several travel prizes for outstanding presentations.
