Riveting Presentations at Fulbright Bi-Annual Postdoctoral Seminar
In March, Fulbright Israel recently hosted our bi-annual Postdoctoral Seminar, bringing together our talented postdocs for research presentations and professional development. Our three new postdoctoral fellows shared insights into their research: Dr. Ben Israeli on Wave Turbulence from Atoms to Oceans, Dr. Frankee Lyons on Toward a Global History of Postwar Polish Jewry, and Dr. Justin Oh on Dealing with Chance in Computation. Following the presentations, Fulbright Israel postdoctoral alum, Dr. Josh Porat-Dahlerbruch and Professor Margaret Rosenzweig from the University of Pittsburgh, led an insightful session on preparing for the U.S. academic job market. The seminar concluded with a conversation with Dr. Erika Tritle, a Fulbright postdoctoral alum, on the teacher-scholar model and how to maximize the Fulbright experience. As always, it was inspiring to gather with our exceptional postdoctoral fellows, hear about their groundbreaking research, and provide them with valuable tools for their academic journeys ahead.
