The ISCB Student Council Symposium will be held on July 19th (directly preceding ISMB/ECCB 2013) in Berlin, Germany.

The Student Council Symposium is a forum for students, post docs, and young researchers in the fields of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. Participants have the opportunity to present their work to an international audience, build a network within the computational biology community and develop important soft skills in an environment that fosters exchange of ideas and knowledge.

Date of the meeting: 20 July 2013

Transitioning from Post-doc to (junior) PI is a major step in the scientific career ladder bringing new challenges to the scientist. Key among these challenges is moving from a single project-based responsibility to being responsible for the projects of students, technicians, and postdocs. On top of this, the researcher is expected to be a successful grant writer, a human resources manager, an engaging speaker, etc.

Dear young researcher,

We are pleased to invite you to the second RSG Belgium seminar in Brussels on the 8th of May
The goal of this seminar is to bring computational biology PhD students and starting Post-Docs together to share research results and experience.

More information concerning the location, starting hour and talks will follow soon.
