Familiarize yourself with the following resources and send them along to your new postdoc:
- UArizona Postdoctoral Affairs website for postdoc-specific and university-wide resources;
- National Postdoctoral Association (NPA)* website for national resources related to postdoc positions, professional development, careers, and postdoc-relevant events.
- Postdoc Academy, a free comprehensive program built on the NPA core competencies to support skill development throughout postdoc training;
- If your postdoc is international, there are important resources in the UArizona International Faculty and Scholars section of the Global Initiatives website.
Consider attending a Postdoctoral Orientation to learn more about Postdoctoral Affairs and postdoc resources at UArizona and beyond.
Keep in touch after hiring your postdoc and before their arrival at UArizona.
Think about how to best mentor your new postdoc by reviewing some of the resources on managing mentoring relationships, supporting your postdocs, creating mentoring plans and agreements, and more.
