How to Get Involved

We encourage you to get involved with the Temple University Postdoctoral Association (TUPA) by joining our Committee, volunteering on a subcommittee, and/or self-nominating for one of the leadership positions.

Any postdoc at Temple with the title Postdoctoral Fellow, Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate, or Visiting Scholar is eligible for any of these opportunities.

Connect with us if you have questions or are interested in joining!

Why get involved with TUPA?

Contribute your voice and ideas. As TUPA grows, so do our options for what events to host and how to spend our funds to best support postdocs at Temple. Whether you just arrived at Temple or have been here for a few years, we want your input!

Flexibility to spend your time on what you care most about. TUPA is working on many different projects, including (virtual) social events, anti-racism, professional development, community outreach, and more.

Gain valuable, relevant experience. Taking an active role in TUPA looks great on a CV or resume.

Join a diverse, supportive group. As part of the TUPA community, you can work with postdocs from departments across Temple. We are always excited to welcome new members!

Here are some easy ways to get involved:

– Attend an upcoming social or professional development event.
– Share your stories and successes with us on social media.
– Attend a monthly TUPA meeting.
– Become a member of the TUPA Committee. We are actively seeking new members!
