SRBR Junior Faculty Day

Junior Faculty Day Schedule

The goal of the Junior Faculty Workshops is to foster the growth and success of the next generation of biological rhythm researchers by providing workshops where they can learn from and interact with established faculty members. Attendance is open to investigators within ~8 years of obtaining a faculty position. Only those who have pre-registered will be allowed to participate. For each workshop topic, a panel of experienced members of the field will provide advice to junior faculty members and answer questions. The list of participating faculty will be posted on the message board in the conference center prior to the first session.
