The International Neuropsychological Society & Postdoc interviews


The INS conference is a great place for students to find out about postdoctoral oppotunities.
Here is the link to the conference's site. http://www.the-ins.org

"Designated rooms will be available for job and post-doctoral training interviews from Tuesday, February 14th - Saturday, February 18th. INS does not schedule the use of these rooms or coordinate the interviews. Interviews must be arranged between employers and candidates. A job posting board will be available onsite to assist prospective employers in the interviewing process. Interviews for U.S. and Canadian Post-doctoral training programs are arranged by the individual programs in communication with applicants."
