Last week, a group of postdocs, their families, faculty supervisors, and other members of the Queen’s community came together to celebrate the completion of the Certificate in Professional Development for Postdocs program. The program operated throughout the 2024-25 academic year with monthly workshops and meetings to enhance postdocs’ professional skills for future positions in academia and beyond. Workshop topics ranged from grant writing to project management. See the full roster of workshops here.
The program’s workshops were facilitated by experts across campus. Thank you to the faculty and staff who shared their expertise and time with the postdoc community. Special thanks to faculty and staff in the following units: Organizational Development and Learning in Human Resources, the Vice-Principal Research Office, the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, the Human Rights and Equity Office, the Department of Civil Engineering, and University Relations.
In addition to professional development, the program also created an interdisciplinary space for postdocs to connect, share, and support one another. Congratulations to all who completed the program alongside their busy research schedules!
