Get To Know Your Postdocs Seminar Series

SIGN UP to be a Featured Postdoc
PREPARE for your Seminar

The Earth & Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) Get to Know Your Postdoc Seminar Series (GTKYPD) is a monthly seminar series that provides EESA postdocs opportunities to showcase their research to the broader EESA community, to enable networking with researchers across EESA disciplines, and to foster stronger postdoc ties. The seminar series was originally started by the Energy Geosciences Division in 2018, and through its success, expanded to the larger area in 2019. 

The goals of the seminar series:

  • to provide a platform for postdocs to communicate to fellow postdocs and PIs in the area who they are 
  • to forge a strong community for future collaboration and a support network for career advancement 

Visit the EESA Postdocs and Early Careers page for more information and upcoming events.
