Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics

Postdoctoral Association

About

Established by our Department Chair Dr. Ling Qi in 2023, the Postdoctoral Association of the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics is spearheaded by postdoctoral fellows and associates. Our primary goal is to enhance communication, engagement, and diversity within our postdoc community. We endeavor to cultivate an inclusive atmosphere where postdocs can connect with both faculty members and peers, offering resources and assistance for career progression and transitions. Additionally, we provide a platform for showcasing the work and accomplishments of our postdocs. Please join us!
