Welcome to MinorityPostdoc.org

This is the premier web portal on the minority postdoctoral experience featuring news, articles, resources, and events about jobs, career advice, professional development, funding, fellowships, mentoring, and diversity issues.

Please donate to support the careers of PhD trainees!

Our small non-profit provides free services to PhD graduate students and postdocs such as through our annual conference and career resources. Our work is subsidized by clients posting on our jobs board; but, institutional commitments to diversity outreach have decreased since the highpoint of 2020. Please donate to our first year-end campaign to diversify higher education and the STEM workforce.

DivSch24 Conference Success! Future Webinars

Our 2024 DiverseScholar Postdoctoral Conference (#DivSch24) was a success! Around 30 PhD trainees with 15 speakers, facilitators, and staff participated in our September 6-7 event in Orange County, CA. This seventh conference had professional development sessions, research presentations, and opportunities for recruiting. All activities support our membership in their postdoctoral and professional career exploration especially to diversify academia. We thank sponsors National Institutes of Health, Virginia Tech, and Stanford University.

We will be scheduling online webinars for selected topics so more can learn from our content experts such as about Chalk Talks for faculty job interviews. Members should watch for announcements in our monthly newsletter.
