Postdoc Research Day
The 21st Annual UAB Postdoc Research Day will take place on Tuesday, May 21, 2026 at the UAB Hill Student Center. Join us from 9:00 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. for innovative research, cross-campus collaboration, and cash awards for participants.
Research Day is designed to exclusively showcase the research of postdoctoral scholars and to promote networking within our UAB community. We invite our postdocs to submit an abstract for either a ten-minute research oral presentation or a three-minute "Data Blitz" presentation by February 20, 2026.
Research Oral Presentation
Abstracts (excluding title and authors) must be 250 words or less and include sections about the project's background/significance, hypothesis, results, and conclusion/next steps. The research presented must have been completed during your time as a UAB postdoctoral scholar.
The twelve-minute presentations will take place in person and be judged on the presenter's ability to communicate their ideas and findings, overall understanding of the topic, and ability to identify its significance and answer questions during the five-minute Q&A.
Data Blitz Presentation
Are you a new postdoc or do not yet have enough data for a twelve-minute presentation? Consider submitting a 100-word project summary to present during our Data Blitz! Presentations will be three-minutes long, and you will be limited to a single PowerPoint slide that details your project ideas, methodology, or preliminary data. Presented ideas must be from your current position as a UAB postdoctoral scholar.
The Data Blitz will take place in person and be judged by a panel comprised of faculty and fellow postdocs. You will be evaluated on time management and organization, delivery, research impact, slide design, and comprehension.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Winners of each Category will receive Cash Awards! Submit an Abstract Today!
