The Postdoc Affairs Offices at Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and University of Illinois Chicago invite you to attend the virtual Chicagoland Postdoc Recruitment Event, taking place October 14-15, 2021.
Applications will be accepted through Friday, September 10, 2021. Apply here.
Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to learn about three postdoctoral programs in the Chicagoland area and the cutting-edge science/research happening at each institution. A total of 140 faculty members from the three institutions have signed-up to participate in the event!
This is a collaborative event to improve diversity and inclusion at the three largest research universities in the Chicago area, with the goal of improving the "pipeline" challenge in academia for historically marginalized graduate students and postdocs, including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, who have disabilities, who identify as LGBTQIA+, who are veterans, or who were first-generation college students or Pell-eligible.
Selected participants will learn about postdoctoral programs in the Chicagoland area, how to find postdoctoral opportunities, how to apply for postdoctoral positions, and how to maximize your postdoctoral experiences. Following these two days of programming, participants will conduct informational interviews with matched faculty members through October 31, 2021.
