BSD Postdoc Association

Overview

What is the BSD Postdoctoral Association (PDA)?

The PDA is an organization committed to helping the development of researchers who hold a doctorate but are not yet independent researchers.

The PDA has two main roles,

(i) to represent the interests of this group directly to the University of Chicago faculty and administration

(ii) to provide both social and career development resources for researchers.

All non-faculty persons in post-Ph.D. research capacity at The University of Chicago are automatically members of the association. These persons are collectively referred to as "postdocs” on this site.

In this website you can find information and resources available to postdocs at the University of Chicago.
