The UBC Postdoctoral Association is organizing our annual Postdoc Research Day, a full day of interdisciplinary research talks featuring UBC postdocs, on December 6, 2022! Please see attached flyer for details.

 

This year’s Research Day will be back in person following the latest COVID-related safety guidelines. All postdocs from your department and unit are welcome to submit an abstract for peer-review and attend the Research Day in person.

 

One of our keynote speakers is Dr. John Madden who will be talking about Mend the Gap, a successful international collaboration of an interdisciplinary team to accelerate efforts towards a regenerative treatment for spinal cord injury. Additionally, he will discuss the steps this team took to apply for and implement this 6 year, 11 university, $24 million dollar grant.

 

We would appreciate it if you can circulate the information below and the attached flyer to your colleagues.

The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on December 10, 11 & 17, 2022.

The Grad ISW is a 24-hour, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors.

Please note: you must attend all face-to-face sessions and complete all independent work for the complete duration of the workshop, (i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop).

Click here to apply for the waitlist for December 10, 11 & 17, 2022: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-december-10-11-17-2022/

 

Application opens on October 31 and closes on December 7, 2022 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are applying for the WAITLIST only and this DOES NOT register you for the workshop. Graduate ISWs at UBC are in high demand. To create an equitable registration process all graduate students who apply for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has applied for more than one ISW waitlist, their name will appear more frequently when generating the participant list, giving them a higher chance of being selected for an ISW. If you are accepted into the workshop, you will be contacted by our office to confirm your registration. For more information and a list of all upcoming sessions visit: http://ctlt.ubc.ca/gradisw

 

Workshop Eligibility:

 

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is eligible if they are:

• a full-time or part-time registered graduate student at UBC during the academic term when the ISW is offered
• a graduate student at UBC who has completed degree requirements but has not yet convocated
• a joint degree graduate student who is enrolled at UBC and another institution
• a graduate student at UBC pursuing non-degree studies
• a visiting graduate student that is eligible to take courses

 

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is not eligible if they are:

• not a graduate student at UBC
• a graduate student at UBC who has on-leave status
• a visiting graduate student that is not eligible to take courses

The UBC IT IAM team is removing the FASmail auto provision for LFS Grads today. Only the currently active students in SIS will continue to have access. Grad students who contacted IT after the alerts were sent out were given extensions.

 

Please remember to use your UBC Student email account instead of FASmail for publishing papers as this account will always remain accessible to you. All FASmail accounts will gradually be phased out as you graduate from your program.

 

Information on student email can be found here, https://it.ubc.ca/services/email-voice-internet/ubc-student-email-service.
