The Oregon State University Postdoctoral Association (OPA) is a postdoc organization which provides opportunities for professional development and networking for all OSU-affiliated postdocs. We also work with the Associate Dean of the Office of Postdoctoral Programs (OPP) in the Graduate School to improve the postdoctoral experience across OSU. Check out the OPP newsletters on their site. You can also connect with us and keep up to date with our events and general information relevant to the OSU postdoctoral community by following us on Facebook.

Please mark your calendars and join us for a special joint event between the UO and OSU Postdoc Associations, funded by a UO Biology Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Grant! This event will combine a workshop on DEI with a research symposium of short lightning talks followed by a networking and social hour. The workshop on May 31st will be led by Elly Vandegrift, Associate Director of the Science Literacy Program, who is an award winning teacher and national science education leader. It is guaranteed to be an interesting and engaging event! This is an opportunity to participate in formal diversity training (great for your CV and teaching/diversity statements!) and also to communicate your research and network with a broader postdoc audience. Attached is a flyer with further details; you can also sign-up to participate here. Please sign up by May 20th. Below is Elly's bio and information about the workshop.
ASCB announces two professional and career development programs for the cell biology community in 2019: the Faculty Research and Education Development (FRED) grant funding program and a new Accomplishing Career Transitions (ACT) career transitions program. Both programs offer vital resources and training to senior postdoctoral students and junior faculty. These programs are aimed at those from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM as well as junior faculty at minority-serving institutions.
Learn to write grants with FRED
The FRED program is a structured mentorship program designed to boost the receipt of grant funding for its participants. The program pairs participants with a senior faculty mentor who aids in the preparation of a strong research or education grant proposal.
Advance your career with ACT
The NIH-funded ACT program provides customized training for transition into faculty and research positions. It allows participants to acquire new skills and strategies to navigate career advancement. Participants also receive funding to create and execute a practicum plan that is reviewed by senior faculty and peers.
Please consider or share this information. The application deadline for both programs is March 29, 2019. If you have any specific questions, please contact Ashanti Edwards at aedwards@ascb.org.
Photos! Please send us photos of yourselves in action.
The OPA would love to feature our postdocs and RAs on our webpage. Please send photos to opa.osu@gmail.com. Thank you!
