GPCR Invited Postdoctoral Seminar Series 2023-2024
The Vanderbilt University Department of Pharmacology hosts an invited seminar series open to senior postdoctoral researchers from U.S. institutions. Selected speakers will present their research to members of the Pharmacology Department, the Warren Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery, the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research, the Vanderbilt Brain Institute, and more. This is an outstanding opportunity for postdocs to expand their professional network, particularly for those entering the job market soon and seeking academic careers.
Submissions for the 2023-2024 series are now open!
We welcome applicants from all areas of pharmacology research, including but not limited to molecular pharmacology, signal transduction, behavioral and neuropharmacology, cancer pharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, drug metabolism, and drug discovery. Individuals of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. This hybrid series will run monthly beginning in late Fall 2023 and each speaker will receive an honorarium for their time and effort. Selected speakers will be allowed to choose between virtual and in-person attendance.
