Meet postdocs at the 2008 SACNAS conference
35th annual conference, Salt Palace Convention Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, October 9-12, 2008. The entire conference agenda can be found here.
We encourage diversity recruiters, equity advisors, and others to meet SACNAS postdocs. These individuals will diversify the workforce as the next generation of science professionals. In particular, the postdocs listed below will have poster or oral presentations at the SACNAS annual conference. Join us in Salt Lake City to network with these potential job candidates.
2008 Postdoc Poster Session at the Networking Reception
Join us for a reception welcoming postdocs and interested graduate students to the SACNAS national meeting. This gathering is an excellent way to network and to learn about postdoctoral and professional opportunities. Professionals and exhibitors are encouraged to attend the reception to publicize open positions. The inaugural Postdoc Poster Session will highlight our postdoctoral member’s scholarship listed below by discipline. Names are prefaced with their poster number.
Convention Center Room 254AB on Friday October 10, 8:30 p.m.
