National Postdoctoral Association's Mentoring Resources
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs was created, in part, to provide administrative support to postdocs, faculty and administrators in all facets of a postdoc’s experience while at Columbia. We hope to be a starting point to identify resources available to you while hiring your postdoc, the resolution of any problems that you may have, and of course, a resource for your postdoc.
Please do not hesitate to contact Kathryn Espiritu, Director of Postdoctoral Affairs at postdocaffairs@columbia.edu. You can also reach OPA by phone at 212-305-4073 (Medical Center) or 212-854-6846 (Morningside) if you have any questions or concerns with respect to your postdocs.
Checklists
Three checklists have been prepared to help faculty, administrators and postdocs. These include checklists for when:
a. Your postdoc accepts your offer to come to Columbia
b. The postdoc arrives at Columbia on his or her first day
c. A checklist to facilitate the appointment process
