2024 St. Elmo Brady Postdoctoral Inclusive Excellence Symposium Applications Open

The Department of Chemistry encourages postdoctoral researchers to apply for the 2024 St. Elmo Brady Postdoctoral Inclusive Excellence Symposium (SEBPIES) by April 1, 2024. SEBPIES provides a forum for a diverse group of postdocs interested in pursuing research faculty positions and honors St. Elmo Brady, who in 1916 became the first African American to earn a PhD in chemistry in the U.S., graduating from the University of Illinois. A committee of faculty and students will select speakers for a visit to the UIUC campus on June 7, 2024. The in-person symposium will include various activities, including a one-hour research presentation and reception for all participants. All travel expenses for selected participants will be covered.
