2023 National Postdoc Appreciation Week
The 14th annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week celebration begins 9/18/23! Since 2009, this week of gratitude has been held nationwide to acknowledge the major contributions postdocs have made to U.S. research and innovation. In addition to various free virtual events happening around the country, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and Utah Postdoctoral Association (UPDA) are proud to host a variety of activities on the University of Utah campus and in Salt Lake City.

An online panel of speakers will discuss career paths for postdocs in the social sciences.
- NPAW Keynote Address -- “The Power of Awareness: Mindfulness in Academia”
