[RPA-PostDoc] UCR Postdoc Awards for Excellence

[UCR PostdocAssoc]

Dear postdocs,

We encourage you to apply for the UCR Postdoc Awards for
Excellence! Please find below the information that Graduate Division
shared:



As UCR continues to grow, as does our postdoc community. These individuals
are an integral part of our research efforts and frequently play important
roles as mentors, teachers and links to our communities. A focused and
productive postdoctoral scholar is a key component of many research
facilities conducting skilled experiments, technical support in the lab and
field and providing graduate students with near-peer mentorship. This part
of the UCR community should be celebrated.

Therefore, in partnership with the Riverside Postdoctoral Association
(RPA), the Graduate Division and the Office of Research would like to
recognize our postdoctoral scholars with a new set of awards aimed at
recognizing excellence in research, mentorship and service.
