2020 Postdoctoral Fellowship Summer Seminar

July 27 – July 31, 2020

Online

CLIR has made the difficult decision to suspend in-person meetings and events for the rest of 2020. The health and safety of our constituents, partners, and colleagues were at the forefront of this decision, but we are all so sad not to be able to welcome our 2020 cohort in person at Bryn Mawr College.

New fellows and supervisors are welcome to send questions about the summer seminar or fellowship curriculum to postdoc@clir.org.

June 25, 2020: We’re excited to share the preliminary schedule for the 2020 CLIR Postdoctoral Fellowship Summer Seminar. Times and topics may change slightly over the next few weeks. 

Fellows should plan to be available to meet each day between 9 am and 2 pm Pacific / 11 am and 4 pm Central / 12 pm and 5 pm Eastern (US & Canada).

Supervisors should plan to be available to meet Tuesday, July 28, and Wednesday, July 29, between 9 am and 2 pm Pacific / 11 am and 4 pm Central / 12 pm and 5 pm Eastern (US & Canada).

Fellows and Supervisors will also have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one conversations with members of the program team and select seminar guests Friday, July 31.
