Postdoc Workshop Series
The Molecular Biology Information Service (MBIS) of the Health Science Library System (HSLS) and the Center for Postdoctoral Affairs in the Health Sciences are pleased to present the second in a series of “how to” workshops taught by biomedical postdocs at the University of Pittsburgh.
Location: Falk Library Classroom 2 (upstairs)
Workshops are 1 hour unless otherwise specified.
Registration is NOT required.

Modeled after the MBIS workshops, postdoc instructors are encouraged to teach a 1-2 hour workshop (most are 1 hour) to a class of no more than 24 attendees. The specific topic is up to the discretion of the postdoc, but is a “how to” style talk rather than a seminar. The MBIS works 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.
All postdoc instructors receive feedback, a letter of acknowledgement, and optional videotaping of their session. Contact MBIS if you are interested in teaching a class in the next series.
