Caitie Norrie, a program manager for graduate student professional development at UC, said she is excited to celebrate National Postdoc Appreciation Week "because it uplifts a group of professionals who work incredibly hard and whose work may not always be recognized.
"Postdocs are essential to UC as we grow and expand our opportunities, bringing diverse knowledge from all around the world and supporting the efforts of the innovative research going on," she said.
Employers are often impressed by the forward-thinking research stemming from UC's postdocs. Because of this, many tap into Bearcat talent by setting up shop at the 1819 Innovation Hub, a collaborative environment where UC's skilled researchers can connect with leading companies.
Ultimately, the best way for UC's postdoctoral fellows to highlight their research is by showcasing it. Whether that's at an event during National Postdoc Appreciation Week or by pitching it via the Venture Lab, postdocs have plenty of chances to shine at UC.
