"For and governed by postdoctoral scholars, the Dartmouth Postdoctoral Association aims to aid in the professional development of its members, foster a sense of community and identity among them, and enhance their overall experience at Dartmouth."
Postdoctoral scholars comprise a vital and significant part of the academic community. The purpose of the DPA is to give each and every postdoc an opportunity to succeed according to their individual wants and needs, whether it is to increase their network, participate in social activities, or benefit from the training/career enhancement seminars the association will plan and/or sponsor. The DPA offers a diverse and inclusive organization for postdocs with different perspectives and unique ways of thinking to cultivate a community of connectedness and enable each individual member to thrive. Equipping postdocs with the tools needed to find and obtain satisfying and fulfilling careers within or outside of academia is one of the goals of the DPA. The DPA advocates for Dartmouth Postdocs by fostering institutional recognition of 1) postdocs as a group associated with Dartmouth and 2) of our individual training and professional development needs. We play a critical role in creating a centralized resource for all postdocs to find personal, professional and career resources needed to succeed in their endeavors.
The DPA is supported by Cindy Rosalbo, Director of Postdoc Affairs! Please reach out to Cindy for career guidance or any other topics related to your postdoc experience.
