More than research
Being a postdoc at the University of Waterloo is more than research. It is also about building relationships, sharing your experience with others, and enjoying your time with us.
We want you to thrive inside and outside of the lab and office!
To support building a community of postdocs at UWaterloo, the Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA) postdoc team hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year.
Events are typically held twice per term and are often open to partners or spouses and children of postdocs. Each September, our team also celebrates National Postdoc Appreciation Week, which includes a week-long series of events! Postdocs are also invited to participate in a wide range of other events on campus that are open to UWaterloo employees and hosted by other units.
Throughout our website you can find information on:
- National Postdoc Appreciation Week
- Becoming a Postdoc Engagement Liaison
- Sharing your postdoc experience
- Postdoc profiles and stories
- Campus resources for postdocs (e.g., wellness, academic, professional development, filing your taxes)
If you have any questions about your life as a postdoc at Waterloo, you can always connect with the postdoc team.
