UVM Postdoctoral Association

By postdocs for postdocs
The UVM Postdoctoral Association is a volunteer group of postdoc scholars working to improve the training and experience of postdocs at the University of Vermont

Elevating the UVM postdoctoral experience

We promote a culture reflecting the University of Vermont Common Ground and six core competencies identified by the National Postdoctoral Association to facilitate professional development, broaden the training experience, and foster a vibrant, open, and collaborative community for all Postdoctoral Scholars at UVM. We also advocate for postdocs by working with the UVM administration to promote adoption of competitive salary and benefits in line with national guidelines and by connecting with local professional and academic institutes, societies, and organizations.

Upcoming Events

The Postdoctoral Research Showcase is back! Join us for oral and poster presentations to celebrate postdocs' contribution to UVM's research enterprise. The event will be on April 21, 2-6pm, at MedEd 200/MedEd Pavilion, and is part of UVM Research Week. Abstracts and detailed schedule available here!
