In an effort to acclimate new postdocs to Columbia University, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs would like to offer a first look at the resources available at the university that directly relate to postdoctoral training. The orientation includes a brief rundown of benefits, introduction to an Individual Development Plan, and a discussion about the research, professional development, and quality of work/life resources available at the university to postdocs. Orientation is held once a month (except during the month of December) and rotates between the Morningside and Medical Center campuses, and is announced on the OPA websiteevent’s calendar.
