YKavli (Early Career Researchers)

YKavli Logo

YKavli Mission

Our goal is to bring early career researchers (grad students, postdocs, staff researchers, assistant project scientists, non-faculty) together so they can meet, network and share research. YKavli hosts networking & research lunches and happy hours during the academic year. Additionally, YKavli hosts an annual retreat focused on job skills or career development.

We are always looking for presenters for the regular lunch and happy hour meetings – email kibm@ucsd.edu if you are interested. Presentations are 20-30 minutes, casual, open to discussion, and can include job talks, previous research, troubleshooting, and paper reviews.

Check back regularly for new meeting dates to be posted or subscribe to the Mailing List to receive event announcements.
