Never miss any announcement

If your department does not inform new postdocs about Northwestern’s Postdoctoral Association’s mailing list, please notify us anonymously. In the majority of cases, this reflects an oversight on our side that runs against our aim to be highly inclusive.

Engage with fellow postdocs of Northwestern

You can use our Slack team for scientific and personal 1:1 communication with fellow postdocs as well as to make public calls or to find furniture or colleagues with shared interests. First, you need to create an account for the Slack team using your Northwestern email address (click “create account” after following the links below). Second, you can log into our Slack team. Third (optional but recommended), download the dedicated apps for your mobile phone or desktop computer rather than using the web-based version of Slack.
