The Building 46 Postdoctoral Association brings together fellows and associates from BCS, the McGovern Institute, and the Picower Institute. The Association's advocacy, activities, and programs are managed by the Postdoctoral Committee.

The postdoc committee helps plan career related and social events, and also advocates for postdoctoral issues and benefits.

The committee can also help address issues that might arise. Please feel free to attend a committee meeting to raise any concerns you might have, or contact individual committee members who can answer your questions on how issues can be resolved.

The committee is currently recruiting new members! If you are interested, please contact Hector De Jesus-Cortes.
