Welcome to the UC Santa Cruz Postdocs Association webpage!
The USPA is a postdoctoral-led organization that aims to provide career training and resources to postdoctoral scholars here at UC Santa Cruz. Each year the USPA organizes a symposium, and a series of workshops to highlight postdoctoral research, provides postdocs with career planning support, and build a stronger postdoc community. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for new postdocs and a supportive group of peers to navigate this pivotal career stage together.
The USPA is part of the larger network of Bay Area Postdocs.
Activities of USPA include:
- postdoc science and social hour
- career development workshops
- annual symposium
