UCLA Neuroscience Postdoctoral Scholars are invited to join Project Synapse, a postdoctoral group sponsored by the UCLA Brain Research Institute.

Project Synapse offers a strong network of colleagues, career development workshops, and opportunities to participate in K-12 outreach and teaching activities.

  • Time management
  • Curriculum Vitae tips
  • Grant writing guidance
  • Leadership skills
  • And more!
