• Postdoc Research Associate Peer Mentoring Group

  The Postdoc Research Associate Peer Mentoring Group is here to create connections and facilitate mutual support during this unique career period. The group meets regularly throughout the semester to support each other through knowledge sharing and to help develop a wide range of beneficial skills. Topics include the transition to living in another country and culture, the academic and industrial job application process, and how to improve on our communication skill set. As a diverse cohort, this group provides the space to share life experiences and support each other – whatever stage you are at.

  The group plans social events including hiking, going to some of the many events which occur on the Ithaca Downtown Commons, and other activities within the wider area. The group is open to all department postdocs and research associates.
