Call for Proposals for PDA Career Development Events
Do
you have a great idea for an event that would interest postdocs? Is
your on-campus group, department, or college looking for funding for
your programming? Starting this fiscal year, the UMN Postdoctoral
Association is able to financially support career development events
hosted by other groups on campus. See the announcement here to find out more information on how to apply, and email pda@umn.edu with additional questions.
November PDA Happy Hour
Our
next monthly happy hour will be at Able Seedhouse & Brewery in NE

the Minnesota Orchestra. Find out more details about our happy hour on
our Facebook event page - and join our Facebook group if you're not already a member!

WHERE: Able Seedhouse & Brewery
The
UMN Postdoctoral Association is hosting a special seminar focusing on
the options available for international Postdoctoral Scholars to attain
permanent residence based on their professional skills. This seminar
will be delivered by immigration attorney Robert D. Aronson.

WHERE: Akerman Hall, Room 319

Thank
you to everyone who submitted a proposal for the Fall PDA Career
Development Awards. We are reviewing the applications now and will
announce the recipients shortly. We will also award Career Development
Awards in the Spring - keep an eye out in the new year for our call for
applications.
These are
bi-annual career development awards for purposes of supplementing and
encouraging attendance to events and programs furthering professional
development (e.g., conferences, workshops, seminars, etc.). The award is intended for postdoctoral scholars who may not be able to otherwise attend the event.
