Your Postdoc Engagement Liaisons have been working hard since first coming together in May 2024.

Postdoc Engagement Liaisons are dedicated leaders and advocates for the postdoc community at the University of Waterloo. They bring forth and explore opportunities, events, and engagement ideas with other Postdoc Engagement Liaisons from across the university, as well as staff at Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA), to improve the overall postdoc experience.

To date, our liaisons have had fruitful discussions on postdoc events, communications, community-building initiatives, and more. The liaison group also planned and helped facilitate an onboarding panel event for postdocs in the Faculty of Engineering.

Four new postdocs recently joined the liaison group, including:

  • Emma Brandt, Communication Arts, Faculty of Arts
  • Shu-Feng Tsao, School of Public Health Sciences, Faculty of Health
  • Abhijit Chakraborty, Physics and Astronomy, Faculty of Science
  • Lilhac Medina,Biology, Faculty of Science

Check out our contact page to meet our other liaisons.

GSPA is currently searching for one Liaison from the Faculty of Engineering and one from the Faculty of Mathematics. If interested, please review the Become a Postdoc Engagement Liaison webpage for more information, and contact postdocs@uwaterloo.ca with any questions.
