Postdoc Onboarding Handbook
The Postdoc Onboarding Handbook is a useful resource developed by postdocs for postdocs.
Vision
The Cornell Postdoctoral Association’s vision is to create a strong and unified community of postdoctoral scholars across all schools of Cornell University. The association aims to encourage the exchange of ideas, concerns, and experiences among postdocs to increase their sense of unity and common identity as part of the Cornell family. By building a diverse and inclusive community, the association seeks to enhance their collective knowledge and skills, enabling them to achieve their goals. This collaborative approach supports postdocs throughout their time at Cornell and beyond, fostering an environment where they can thrive both professionally and personally.
Mission
The mission of the Cornell Postdoctoral Association (PDA) is to enhance the quality of life for Postdocs across all schools by serving as their representative and voice. PDA addresses pressing and significant issues, promotes dialogue by bringing together key stakeholders, and offers valuable information to Postdocs.
