I am a Postdoc
This is a message from the National Postdoctoral Association, to encourage your participation in National Postdoc Appreciation Week 2021 (#NPAW2021), which will be recognized September 20-24.
Who is a postdoc? What can you do after postdoc training?
The National Postdoctoral Association needs your help to put some faces on an often overlooked group – postdocs. We are looking for current and former postdocs to submit short, 1 min or less, videos to be used as part of National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW; Sept 20-24) and beyond to emphasize the diversity of postdocs in the US and the many careers they pursue post-postdoc.
I am a postdoc. And I am ___________.
Postdocs do so much more than scholarly work or research, they are complex human beings with unique backgrounds, interests, and aspirations. If you are a current postdoctoral scholar, we would love for you to consider submitting a short, 1 min or less, video about who you are, in all its complexity and nuance. We want these videos to reflect the diversity of the postdoctoral population in the United States which we know consists of scholars from across the world and individuals from various backgrounds and life experiences. Let your voice be heard!
Use this form to express your interest in submitting a video.
We’ll be in touch with more details on how to create and submit your short video.
Career paths post-postdoc
Are you a former postdoc interested in sharing what you do now? Help us educate the NPA community and beyond on the many career paths available post-postdoc. Feel free to share how your time and training as a postdoc helped you in your current career area.
In addition, we plan to hold a virtual networking event during NPAW and look forward to some postdoc alumni joining us at that event, tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, September 21, 2-3 PM Eastern.
Use this form to express your interest in submitting a video & interest in participating in our virtual networking event.
We’ll be in touch with more details on how to create and submit your short video.
