As UCR continues to grow, as does our postdoc community. These individuals are an integral part of our research efforts and frequently play important roles as mentors, teachers and links to our communities. A focused and productive postdoctoral scholar is a key component of many research facilities conducting skilled experiments, technical support in the lab and field and providing graduate students with near-pee mentorship. This part of the UCR community should be celebrated.
In partnership with the Riverside Postdoctoral Association (RPA), the Graduate Division and the Office of Research would like to recognize our postdoctoral scholars with a new set of awards aimed at recognizing excellence in research, mentorship and service.
UCR Postdoc Awards for Excellence
The Graduate Division, the Office of Research and the Riverside Postdoc Association is pleased to announce the call for the first annual Postdoc Awards for Excellence. This award honors postdocs who have demonstrated excellence in research, mentorship and service to the community.
The awards will consist of a plaque and a $1000 check to be awarded at the Graduate Division’s Award Ceremony.
We are seeking nomination letters from department chairs, faculty, students and postdocs in support of an excellent individual in your area.
