For graduate schools
Many of our attendees may be students looking to attend graduate school, or representatives of graduate schools looking to recruit suitable students. We hope that NERM 2010 will provide a suitable environment for students and recruiters to have fruitful meetings and discussions.
Poster session and careers fair
On the evening of Wednesday, June 2nd, there will be a poster session and careers fair in the Barrington Multipurpose Room. Tables will be made available for graduate school representatives to provide literature and meet with prospective graduate students. At the same time, recruiters will be able to talk with prospective graduate students at their posters, allowing candidates to discuss their research and possibly participate in informal interviews.
Under a new scheme piloted at NERM, poster presenters can display a colored dot to indicate their status to recruiters:
- A red dot indicates an undergraduate student looking for a graduate school
- A blue dot indicates a graduate student looking for an industrial position
- A green dot indicates a graduate student looking for a postdoctoral position
With your permission, we will also share your name with recruiters of your choice. This will allow graduate school representatives to talk with you about your research at your poster.
For graduate school recruiters
Those wishing to meet prospective graduate students have several options available:
- Simply attend
You may simply register, and indicate at registration that "I will be representing a graduate school, looking to recruit suitable students for graduate work." In this case, we will provide you with names of students who have indicated an interest in graduate school.
- Attend with a table
