Each semester, IBS offers a variety of interdisciplinary training opportunities open to Institute graduate students and postdocs as well as others.
Graduate training events and groups, such as student-run dissertation writing groups and workshops, support the development of students in the areas of research, funding, professionalization, interdisciplinary research, and networking. Events and groups vary by year and are driven in part by student demand.
- See the IBS Events Calendar for our training program schedule.
Annual Meeting of IBS Students and Postdocs
Each fall, IBS-affiliated students and postdocs meet with the Institute Director and Training Director to get information and share feedback. An anonymous survey in spring is another opportunity for students and postdocs to give feedback about the training program.
Conference Preparation Opportunities
Through workshops and other events that may arise driven by student demand, the Institute helps students prepare for conference and poster presentations. A regular session of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Professional Socialization Seminar prepares students to make the most of professional conferences beyond their presentations.
End-of-Year Poster Symposium
This poster session showcases our student/postdoc research in an Institute-wide event and provides an opportunity to win an outstanding poster prize. IBS sponsors printing of black and white posters.
For more information on the end-of-year poster symposium, contact our Graduate and Postdoctoral Training Director.
