Postdocs

SYNAPSES (Seminars at Yale Neuroscience: Advanced PoStdoc Extramural Series) brings postdoctoral fellows from around the world to Yale to share their latest research work. It's a fantastic opportunity for postdocs at Yale to stay up to date with the cutting-edge research and foster new collaborations.

The Career Panel Series is an amazing opportunity for Yale Neuro postdocs to gain valuable insights and guidance as they navigate their career paths. Experts from diverse neuroscience-related fields share their personal experiences and provide invaluable advice to help postdocs achieve their career goals. Postdocs, don't miss out on this exciting event that will empower you to pursue your dream career with confidence!

Join us for a warm and supportive gathering of postdocs at the Happy Hour/Mock Talk event. Postdocs have the chance to work on their chalk talk skills in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere while receiving helpful and constructive feedback and guidance from peers. Postdocs can enjoy food and beverages as they cultivate their communication and presentation skills.

The Annual Postdoc Appreciation Week serves as a special time to honor the hard work and dedication of postdoctoral fellows and associate research scientists. It's a time to acknowledge their invaluable efforts in advancing the field of neuroscience and crucial contributions in research, teaching, and mentoring in the Yale Neuroscience Department.

The Kavli Postdoc Series aims to foster scientific discussions, career development activities, and community building among Yale neuroscience postdoctoral fellows. This series brings together postdocs from different departments, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and networking opportunities.
