FAQs

What lists should I sign up for?

pslc-pier-announce -- guest speaker, job, and special announcements from David Klahr and other PIER members
pslc-post-docs -- the post doc list
pslc-members and pslc-announce -- both of these are for general PSLC announcements, one internal and one external
The list for your thrust.
Contact Jo Bodnar (jbodnar@cs.cmu.edu) to be added to these.
* if you are a CMU-affiliated PSLC post-doc, you should also email Liz Rangel (lrangel@pitt.edu) for LRDC's weekly mailing which includes announcements for events hosted at LRDC as well as position and general announcements.


What do the PSLC Postdocs do as an entity?

Have regular meetings (about once a month) to discuss issues relevant to our experience as Postdocs. These should also encourage smaller meetings to promote cross-thrust collaboration when our research goals overlap.

I'm a new Postdoc. Can you give me a quick overview of PSLC?

Big question... it's probably most beneficial to familiarize yourself with the overview on the wiki, then read your thrust's most recent thrust plan and subgoals. A good overview is easy to obtain by attending all the sessions during visits by the Advisory Board and/or NSF program officers.


I'm a new Postdoc. What should I do and who should I talk to?

* Sign up for mailing lists
* Meet other people in your thrust
* There are also monthly PSLC lunches
* Read up on the projects your thrust is involved in
* Check out the other thrusts
