Postdoctoral Development

MinorityPostdoc.org

MinorityPostdoc.org is the premier web portal on the minority postdoctoral experience. We feature resources & events about career advice, professional development, jobs, funding, fellowships, mentoring, and diversity issues. In particular, we publicize the activities of diversity-related postdoc groups. As a “virtual career center” we help Ph.D. graduate students transition to the postdoctoral stage and both grads/postdocs transition to their first professional position in academia, industry, and other careers. We are also a community of minority talent for recruiting and peer-to-peer mentoring.

CUNY now provides free membership for postdocs and doctoral students.  Sign up now HERE >> .

 

The NIH Office of intramural Training & Education (OITE) is a division of the Office of Intramural Research (OIR). Their mission is to enhance the training experience of students and fellows on all of the NIH campuses, as well as trainees and investigators outside the NIH (in the extramural community).  OITE provides a wealth of online resources, including webcasts and downloadable presentations from their training and career development events.  These can be found under "oite services" or "events".

The National HERC (Higher Education Recruitment Consortium)

The Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) was founded in the spring of 2000 by colleges and universities in Northern California that were seeking ways to collaborate on addressing faculty and staff dual career and employment outreach challenges on their campuses.

In the spring of 2007, HERC established a national organization to help support the mission and objectives of the regional HERCs. The mission of the National HERC is to facilitate national strategic initiatives that help the regional HERCs accomplish their goals and to promote HERC-wide visibility. The mission of the regional HERCs is to advance the efforts of their member institutions to recruit and retain outstanding and diverse faculty and staff and to assist dual career couples.
