Postdoc Association

Our research Center has a very engaged postdoc network — our Postdoc Association (PDA) — representing all postdocs. We aim to foster a sense of community and to provide resources for career and personal development.  At the institutional level, the VIB Postdoc Committee (PDC) represents all postdocs and staff scientists at VIB and organizes networking and career development events. 

"For me, a good postdoc experience means having the freedom to follow my research passions and interests in a collaborative and stimulating environment." Eliana, postdoctoral fellow in the Patrik Verstreken Lab shares. "I also highly value the opportunity to give and receive scientific guidance, mentorship and training which will be beneficial for my future career aspirations."
