Berkeley Lab Postdoc Career Fair

Friday, July 24, 2020

We are excited to announce the 1st edition of the Berkeley Lab Postdoc Career Fair that will take place on July 24th, 2020 at Berkeley Lab. The fair is co-organized by the Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association (BLPA) and Berkeley Lab’s Postdoc Office.

The goal is to present a wide variety of career possibilities for postdocs. The event will create a platform for connecting postdocs with both industry and academia representatives and offer them the opportunity to put in practice and improve career-development and networking skills.
