NYU CoNNExINS symposium for advanced grad students in neuroscience

New York University is proud to announce the 2^nd annual CoNNexINS symposium! 

CoNNExINS (Colloquium at NYU for Networking: Extramural for Invited Neuroscience Students) is a new symposium giving advanced graduate students the opportunity to give formal seminars to the NYU Neuroscience Community. The experience will be a valuable opportunity to share their research and receive feedback from NYU faculty, postdocs, and students while connecting with potential laboratories for a postdoctoral position. Our goal through this series is to increase diversity in our postdoctoral trainee group through the active recruitment of those who belong to underrepresented minority groups. Looking forward, we believe new postdocs will benefit from our unique training environment that provides a collaborative research environment, a diverse and collegial community, and a commitment to long-term career development and mentorship

We strongly encourage applications from candidates from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to apply. Underrepresented groups include Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Alaska Native. First-generation college students, LGBTQIA+ students, students with a documented disability, and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are also encouraged to apply.

NYU will pay speakers an honorarium and cover all travel expenses.
