The Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association is an organization run by and for about 1000 postdocs and early career scientists working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We organize many activities to strengthen our ties to the Lab, to each other and to the (Berkeley) Bay Area. Our goal is to facilitate social interactions, scientific exchanges, seminars and general orientation.
 
LINC launch

LINC launch

We are thrilled to announce the launch of BLPA’s latest initiative for advancing postdoc careers: the Lab-Industry Networking Connection, a platform designed to introduce postdocs to careers beyond academia, and importantly, facilitate networking with industry partners. Postdocs possess invaluable skills that can be used in several sectors, which is why we are defining industry to include a diverse suite of non-academic entities including, and certainly not limited to, startups, large companies, management and technical consulting agencies, nonprofits, IP law firms, and venture capital firms.

To learn more about the LINC platform and industry careers from professionals representing different scientific backgrounds, join us at the LINC Launch on Wednesday, March 27, 4:00 – 6:00 pm in Auditorium 66-317. The event also includes a networking session for engaging in a tête-à-tête with the industry representatives.
