Communication

UCSF has a large (1,100+) Postdoc population. Due to the nature of the university and its many campus locations, connecting with people can be a struggle. For this, the PSA has set up several ways to connect and communicate:

PSA Monthly Meeting

Would you like to get more involved & help us to build a stronger community among UCSF postdocs? Join us for the Postdoctoral Scholars Association (PSA) monthly planning meeting the fourth Monday of every month at noon.

* ZOOM details will be shared by email a few days before each meeting.

Slack

Slack is a messaging app for teams. This can be used to communicate with Postdocs in specific buildings or across campuses, if you need something immediately, say a chemical etc. You can subscribe yourself with your ucsf.edu email address:

UCSF-PSA Slack

Twitter

Follow us on twitter @PostdocsUCSF for news and views on issues relevant to postdoc life at UCSF.

Instagram
