Postdoc Community Council
The Postdoc Community Council is a group made up of CU Postdocs for CU Postdocs. The goal of the council is to help foster and implement community building social and networking events as well as professional development events for Postdocs. The Council can serve as your forum to share ideas and to meet fellow Postdocs with the same ideas and interests. Have an idea for a networking event, a professional development event, or a social event? Then get involved in the Postdoc Community Council by emailing postdocaffairs@columbia.edu and ask to be added to the Postdoc Community Council mailing list.

Minority Postdoc Coalition
We are very proud and excited to announce the formation of the Minority Postdoc Coalition (MPC), where we hope to bring together underrepresented racial and ethnic (Black, Latino, & Native America) postdoctoral scientists, scholars, and fellows across disciplines to build valuable professional networks, and to promote and support diversity and inclusiveness here at Columbia University. This coalition aims to provide information about opportunities such as conferences, workshops, seminars, grants/fellowships, travel awards, and volunteer opportunities uniquely related to issues of diversity. In addition, this group seeks to provide a social and support network for underrepresented members of Columbia's postdoctoral community.
For more information and to be added to our MPC mailing list, please email postdocaffairs@columbia.edu.
Postdoc Mailing Lists
To help facilitate communication between Postdocs and to only receive communication about the items you are interested in receiving from fellow Postdocs, you can join one of the four mailing lists. Please read about each group below and follow the steps below to join as many of them as you would like. Once you receive access to the group, you will be able to email other members of the mailing list.
postdoc_social@lists.columbia.edu
Share, plan and discuss social events going on at Columbia or around the city. Connect with other CU postdocs. Invite other postdocs to attend social activities and events around New York City, or alert the community when something is happening at Columbia that is not hosted by OPA.
postdoc_equipment@lists.columbia.edu
Do you have a piece of equipment that you are not using in your lab? Do you need something, but don’t know where to get it, or don’t want to spend a lot of money purchasing something? Send an email to this list to see if anyone can help you out. Of course, all exchanges should be legal and allowed by your lab or PI. OPA does not endorse selling/collecting money through these lists.
postdoc_families@lists.columbia.edu
Get in touch with other postdocs who have children and families. Learn about events and social activities for parents, and kid-friendly events for families. Exchange opinions and recommendations for babysitters, schools, after school activities, etc.
postdoc_housing@lists.columbia.edu
Are you moving? Looking for housing? Post here and see if other members of the postdoc community have any information to share!
