The Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association is an organization run by and for about 1000 postdocs and early career scientists working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We organize many activities to strengthen our ties to the Lab, to each other and to the (Berkeley) Bay Area. Our goal is to facilitate social interactions, scientific exchanges, seminars and general orientation.

National Postdoctoral Association

A member-driven, nonprofit organization, the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) provides a unique, national voice for postdoctoral scholars. Many issues that postdocs face have to be dealt with at a larger scope than locally. And, that’s where NPA has successfully stepped in—since 2003!
