All postdocs are invited to the inaugural UMN Postdoctoral Retreat on October 10, 2025! The theme is "Navigating Career Transition: Academia, Industry and Beyond". You will have the opportunity to present your work as an oral or poster presentation, attend professional development workshops, and network with industry scientists and academics!
You are highly encouraged to submit your abstract by clicking here (not more than 2000 characters). Three abstracts in each category will be selected for oral presentation. The best oral presentation will receive a monetary award of at least $500, and of course, a great CV line! Posters in each category will also be judged and awarded with monetary awards. Please submit your abstract by September 15, 2025. We are happy to grant extensions as necessary.
Please click here to RSVP if you are interested in attending the event. And, if you have any questions please send us an email at pda@umn.edu.
