The NIST chapter of Sigma Xi invites all early-career researchers to record a poster presentation for our annual event. The poster content should focus on your NIST research topic, or research from a previous institution if you are new to NIST. The Early-Career Poster Presentation will be held online in 2022 on Wednesday, March 30. All participants and attendees are invited to the virtual awards reception at the end of the day where the most outstanding posters will be announced.
Rules and regulations
Open to NIST staff and associates who have earned a Ph.D. or other terminal degree within the last five years.
One submission per author.
Poster presentations at the 2022 Early-Career Poster Presentation will consist of three parts:
One-page poster PDF (required)
Five-minute pre-recorded presentation (required)
Live poster Q&A (optional)
Presenters must upload a one-page PDF of their poster with an audio or video walkthrough (no longer than 5 minutes), which will act as a guided presentation for attendees and judges. The poster PDFs and audiovisual component will be played on the day of the event and will also be available for viewing by all NIST staff and associates starting one week ahead of the event day.
To provide attendees the opportunity to ask questions or give feedback, we will be hosting live poster Q&A sessions during the event. Posters will be organized into groups of up to 8 based on topic. Each group will be available via virtual meeting for a live Q&A session of no more than 20 minutes following the playing of each recorded poster presentation from that group. Each presenter will introduce themselves and their poster topic and then take questions from the audience. The presenters are highly encouraged to participate in these live Q&As on the day of the event, which will be considered by the judges. Outstanding and Most Outstanding posters, as determined by a panel of NIST judges, will receive a commemorative plaque.
More information on submission, recording instructions, and technical requirements for participation will be available soon.
