The UPPDA Mission

The mission of the University of Pittsburgh Postdoctoral Association (UPPDA) is to facilitate a more constructive and positive experience for postdoctoral professionals that will benefit the postdoctoral professionals and the University of Pittsburgh alike.

Data and Dine Symposium

Data & Dine is a scientific poster session and networking dinner for University of Pittsburgh postdoctoral associates and scholars to present their research to colleagues, faculty, and administrators.

Thank you all who attended the 7th Annual Data & Dine on May 1st, 2012, and congratulations to our travel award winners!

Postdoc Lunch Live!

Sign up now to join the audience for the next event. We are also looking for presenters for upcoming months. Sign up here to present.

Get Involved!

The UPPDA is run entirely by volunteers, and while you may not be interested in serving on the Executive Board, there are many other smaller roles for which we need willing volunteers. A list of current projects is available.

UPPDA Facebook Group

In order to facilitate increased networking and communication among postdocs at Pitt, we have now created a group on Facebook. Create a free account on Facebook (if you don’t have one already), and check out our group here!
