EU-PDA Subcommittees

Subcommittee Membership

The EU-PDA is comprised of several subcommittees, each with a different focus, that are open to all Emory postdoctoral researchers, scholars, and fellows to join! If interested in joining a sub-committee, reach out to the appropriate contact person to become involved in their meetings and events. EU-PDA members are welcome to participate in mulutple sub-committees.



Advocacy

This subcommittee advocates for the interests of postdocs, by supporting on a case-to-case basis individual postdocs in conflict with forces within the institution, and by organizing postdocs in support of shared economic interests and collectively bargaining to improve postdoc benefits, compensation, and/or working conditions.

International Postdocs

The International Postdocs sub-committee supports foreign national postdocs in personal and career development. The sub-committee:

  1. Facilitates quick exchange of information and useful resources regarding visas, immigration, fellowship and grant opportunities that are open to international scholars
  2. Provides a network of moral support for international postdocs facing similar struggles
  3. Participates in advocacy actions for internationals (e.g., petitions).

Mentorship and Outreach

The Mentorship and Outreach sub-committee aims to:

  1. Build a bridge and mentorship relations between pre-doctoral students and postdocs
  2. Facilitate scientific interactions in the postdoc community
  3. Organize social events and provide support for postdocs in need (logistically, mentally, etc.).

Postdoctoral Council for Diversity

The mission of the Postdoctoral Council for Diversity is to uphold diversity and inclusion as core institutional values. People of diverse race, gender, socioeconomic status, first-generation college students, and sexual orientation, among others, are key to the advancement of the sciences. Therefore, we seek to increase the participation and retention of underrepresented groups in scientific fields and address systemic racism with the academic environment in order to cultivate a network of diverse scientists. We are committed to providing a safe space and fostering a community among diverse groups of scientists, where individual differences are celebrated, supported, and nurtured.

Programming Advisory

The Programming Advisory sub-committee works with the Office of Postdoctoral Education (OPE) to ensure that the events and workshops throughout the year are meeting the needs of all postdoctoral fellows at Emory. By integrating with OPE, the Programming Advisory sub-committee fosters the maximal growth of all postdoctoral fellows by ensuring appropriate professional development workshops and events to help postdoctoral fellows succeed in their careers. We aim to organize programs that facilitate the professional development of postdoctoral fellows at Emory in addition to events and workshops that focus not only on the academic job search but also on careers outside of academia.

Science Writers

Science Writers is composed of a group of postdocs with a knack for writing. This sub-committee provides opportunities for members to develop their writing skills via the peer-review process of writing and editing articles. By creating an open and nourishing platform of sharing thoughts and ideas, Science Writers fosters strong communal bonds through writing. Members of Science Writers contribute to publishing the bi-annual Postdoc Science Writers Magazine. Each edition features a unique theme of contemporary interest. Members also post blogs covering a variety of topics of interest to the postdoc community. In addition, Science Writers is actively engaged in facilitating related events hosted by the Office of Postdoc Education (OPE).

Read the most recent edition of the Postdoctoral Science Writers Magazine!
