Resources for Postdoctoral Fellows

Huff Realty is also able to provide support for our postdoctoral fellows to find housing in the Cincinnati area.

National Postdoc Appreciation Week

Since 2009, the National Postdoctoral Association has sponsored National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) to recognize the significant contributions that postdoctoral scholars make to U.S. research and discovery. Institutions from across the country and other parts of the world participate by holding special events. In 2010, NPAW was officially recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives and is celebrated every September. In 2020, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine will host a week-long series of events (see attached pdf file for schedule) to show appreciation to our postdoctoral research fellows. During the week, we will provide several seminars and activities focused on career development, networking, and preparing for a job search, as well as free lunch! Thank you, postdocs, for all that you do for Cincinnati Children’s and UC.
