About Us
The main event is the monthly postdoc club meeting. Throughout the year, we will alternate between informal conversations with faculty members over breakfast, career development seminars, such as how to find funding or how to do a chalk talk, and postdoc method exchange sessions.
Members of the postdoc club are also a good source of feedback if you are preparing for a meeting or interview, so if you have a poster, manuscript, grant proposal or talk that you wish to have feedback on or practice, feel free to email us at cellbiopostdocadmins@duke.edu.
If you have any suggestions, requests or would like to give a talk at the Postdoc club, feel free to contact the organizing committee (Ameya Jalihal, Veronica Farmer, Jennifer Jenkins, Jessica Moore). Please reach out to the organizing committee with a short statement of interest if you would like to be a part of the committee.
