Community Events

NYUAD is committed to building a vibrant postdoctoral community outside of your individual research.

The Postdoctoral Council Steering Committee (PCSC) in association with the Graduate and Postdoctoral Programs Office (GPPO) help run a variety of social and community building events, which are a great way to meet and interact with other postdocs across campus.

Whether you're a new postdoc and/or a postdoc who has been here for years, you are invited to register for our upcoming postdoc social and community building events! We also encourage you to bring family members and children along too; You'll find that many of the social events are family friendly.

This page will be updated regularly with new events as and when they are planned through the Academic Year.
