Postdoc Services Lightning Talks

Friday, June 9, 2023 — 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM EDT

Postdocs are invited to join Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs for a series of potdoc services lightning talks, to learn more about some of the amazing campus units here at Waterloo, and how they can support postdocs.

These lightning talks will be short presentations on important topics relevant to postdoctoral scholars, followed by a chance to ask the speakers about their respective topics and units. This is a great opportunity to find out more about the resources and services available, and where postdocs can go for support with research ethics and integrity, research data management, or information about commercializing their research. Following the lightning talks, there will also be an opportunity to network with other postdocs over free drinks and snacks.

The speakers for this event will be:

Ian Milligan, Associate Vice-President, Research Oversight and Analysis at the Office of Research, will discuss the research ethics and integrity in relation to postdocs, and where you can go for support with these important topics.
Sandra Keys, Information Services and Resources Librarian at Dana Porter Library, will discuss tools and strategies for managing your research data effectively as a postdoc.
John Dick, Director of Velocity campus, will discuss how to start thinking about commercializing your research, if you decide that is a path you want to explore.
