Join or lead a committee 

Leadership skills are core skills. We are always looking for new committee members to bring motivated postdocs into leadership roles! If you are interested, please contact the President Paras Gaur and Vice President Rachel Kehrberg about how to get involved.

We are currently accepting new members in all areas. Learn more about the responsibilities and current initiatives in each committee. We are happy to prioritize opportunities that fill in gaps in your training!

UIPDA infuses their conversations into networking/community building, career prep, and in advocating for our community as a whole.
