TACO Committee
TITANs Activities Organizing Committee
What is the TACO Committee?
A mix of students and professors who like to organize events!
The TITANs ACtivities Organizing Committee has been established
to gather together the young researchers who are part
ot the TITANs Nucleus Millennium. In paritcular, we aim
to organize targeted events, which can help students
and researchers in their early career. Being the Nucleus
spread over different Chilean institutions it is of vital
importance to organize joint activities aimed at enriching
the experience of the youngest. Journal clubs, targeted talks,
scientific presentations, are some of the main activities
the TACO Committee organizes. Together with these basic
activiites we also organize special events on career planning,
job applications, and life out of science. All this,
without forgetting about the social part of this committee,
i.e. organization of recreative activities.

How to seek for PhD and Postdoctoral positions

This mini-workshop took place on the 18.05.2021, online. We have invited former students
doing now a PhD abroad through different grants. They explained how to get into a PhD
application, prepare and perform an interview, and seek for standard Chilean grant
that allow to start a PhD abroad like Beca Chile, DAAD Fellowships among others.
Our postdocs and deputy director Dominik Schleiher introduced into the application word
for postdoctoral positions/fellowhips. The meeting was very fruitful with more than 30 students
attending. The talks can be found at the following links:
