The goal of this series is to:

  1. provide a platform for early-career scientists to share their research and network with Carney's brain science community; and
  2. provide an opportunity for the institute's community of faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students to hear about new innovative research.

During their visit to Brown, selected speakers will present their research to Carney’s brain science community, and they will have the opportunity to meet with faculty members and postdoctoral researchers. We encourage applications from postdoctoral researchers in any field of brain science. Invited speakers will be chosen to reflect the diversity of research conducted at Brown. We aim to attract a diverse group of scientists, and we especially welcome applications from women and people from historically underrepresented populations. For more information, email the selection committee.
