This session offers postdocs interested in an academic career anopportunity to present a plenary talk similar in format to a professorship interview seminar.
Selected participants will have the chance to get a slot for a 15-minute presentation, which should appeal to a broad audience and in which both the achievements accomplished and the proposed future research are to be explained. The talk will be followed by a 10-minute discussion on various aspects of the proposed activity, as well as on career-oriented aspects of the presenter. A knowledgeable jury panel of professors will evaluate the presentations.
The best presentation will be awarded a prize. However, everyone is a winner, as all presenters in the session will receive feedback from the jury in a one-on-one private session afterward. Moreover, as a participant in the LS2 Annual Meeting 2021, you will have the opportunity to expand or refresh your network in Switzerland, to interact with scientists in and outside your field. Only applicants having ties to Switzerland will be considered (i.e. Swiss citizenship, Swiss residency, past or on-going affiliation with a Swiss institution of at least two years by the 2021 meeting). Independent position holders are not eligible.
The following documents are required for the application:
Cover letter highlighting your interest and eligibility (1 page)
Research statement including past work and future research plans with their scientific impact and significance (max. 300 words)
CV with a publication list (max. 2 pages)
Selection criteria:
Scientific quality of proposed research;

We regret that all events at the University of Lausanne have just been canceled until September 2020.
As members of the organization committee, we therefore sadly decided neither to postpone nor to virtualize our symposium, but to simply cancel it. We did not want to overload an already busy virtual conference schedule, and we understand that our speakers’ and participants’ priorities will be to safely restart their labs and experiments as soon as this becomes possible.
