This workshop, GNaT Jr, is a new fall workshop at DU, aimed at the junior researchers in the GNaT enthusiast community! It is partially funded by NSF-CAREER award No. DMS-2439897.

Key aspects of the workshop:

• Presentations and Panel by researchers in the field who have recently been successful on the job market 

  • • The 2025 panelists are (for bios, see the About the Panelists page!): 

      • • Shawn Burkett - Principal Platform Engineer at Charter Communications (Spectrum)

        • Eilidh McKemmie - Assistant Professor at Kean University 

        • Flor Orosz Hunziker - Assistant Professor at University of Colorado-Boulder 

        • Aparna Upadhyay - Assistant Professor at University of South Alabama

• Talks by Junior researchers

• • Junior researchers (especially graduate students and postdocs) are encouraged to give talks - this would be an excellent place to give a first talk, practice for an AMS (or similar) session, practice a job talk or dissertation defense, etc! 

  • If desired, speakers can receive constructive feedback from the panelists and other more senior researchers, but this is completely optional!

 If you are a junior researcher in the "GNaT" enthusiast fields mentioned above and are interested in participating in "GNaT Jr", fill out this registration form! We can cover mileage, per diem, and (for those coming from farther away) one night of hotel.
