Research at Fox Chase »Postdoctoral Research Program »Postdoctoral Training

Postdoctoral Day was started at Fox Chase in 1995 and continues to be an annual event providing the postdoctoral community an opportunity to present their work both as oral and poster presentations. In recent years, this event has been opened to all postdoctorals and students in the greater Philadelphia area. Keynote speakers and/or career planning Panel Discussions have provided interesting programs. The event includes a barbecue lunch served under the tents in the Center's gardens, vendor exhibits, and a wine and cheese reception with an awards presentation following the poster sessions.
