UNIQUE TEACHING OPPORTUNITY
Don’t miss this great chance to expand your teaching portfolio! Request a spot in the second round of Postdoc Talks, Spring 2014.
The Postdoc Talks are a collaboration between the Molecular Biology Information Service (MBIS) of the Health Science Library System (HSLS), the Center for Postdoctoral Affairs in the Health Sciences, and of course all of you biomedical postdocs.
Modeled after the MBIS workshops, instructors are encouraged to teach a 1-2 hour workshop to a class of no more than 24 attendees. The specific topic will be up to the discretion of the postdoc, but must be a “how to” style talk rather than a seminar. The MBIS will work with postdocs to create a workshop that is both a positive teaching experience and instructive to attendees.
Please note that the topic can be ANYTHING related to health sciences, not specifically molecular biology or bioinformatics.
Topics from the first round of Postdoc Talks include: histology image processing using Photoshop, CV preparation, choosing matrices for 3D cell culture, DNA/RNA immunoprecipitation & NGS, and correlation of methylation profiles w/expression data.
All postdoc instructors will receive feedback, a letter of acknowledgement, and optional videotaping of their session. If you’ve already presented, feel free to present again, either the same topic or something new. However, preference will be given to new instructors.
