Ongoing Support
1. Apply for funding to support your professional development
Individual postdocs can apply for up to $100 in funding to support their professional development. Examples include:
– Virtual conference registration
– Online training or certification
– Career workshops
Apply here for funding! There is no deadline to apply, we will review applications on a rolling basis as opportunities arise.
2. Job materials swap
TUPA hosts a job materials swap to trade materials with other postdocs and share feedback on resumes/CV, cover letters, teaching statements, etc. This is a great way to get input from people outside of your field! E-mail tupa@temple.edu if you are interested in joining, and we will email you with more details about sharing materials virtually.
3. Accountability group
We are starting an accountability group to ensure we all make progress on writing, research-related tasks, networking, job applications, or anything else.
If interested, please see more information here.
4. Free editing for your work!
The Penn Editors Association (PEA) provides free and confidential editing services to postdocs.
Postdocs are also encouraged to serve as volunteer editors, with low time commitment and valuable editing experience.
If interested, please check here for more information.
