We deeply care about
- Implementing activities to aid postdocs to transition to careers in academic and non-acadmic fields.
- Promoting leadership skills among Northwestern’s postdocs.
- Creating networking opportunities with academic and non-academic fields.
We act catalytically
Covering a broad range of topics relevant to our fellow postdocs requires fitting approaches. As such we regularly organize events in different formats, from networking lunches to panel discussions to workshops to entire symposia.
Currently planned projects
- Annual postdoc symposium
- Winter Professional Development Webinar Series
- Coffee Chats with NU Postdoc Alumni
We serve both campuses
Each campus has an independent committee for “career and professional development” so that we can serve all postdocs. However, we closely collaborate and also jointly organize events such as Northwestern’s annual postdoc symposium.
