BSD Postdoc Association

Membership

Who is a member to the BSD Postdoctoral Association (PDA)?

The membership of the PDA is open to all non-faculty persons in post-Ph.D. research capacity at The University of Chicago, whether or not they work in the Biological Sciences Division. This category is recognized by the University as either Postdoctoral Fellows, Postdoctoral Scholars, Research Associates, or parenthetical Research Associates (Instructor/etc). Medical Fellows who are engaged primarily in research positions and have completed their M.D. also qualify. These persons are collectively referred to as "postdocs" in this website.

Eligibility for membership begins with the first day of a qualifying individual’s research appointment and ends either a) on the last day; or b) upon reclassification of an individual's institutional status to a type not mentioned above.
