The Caltech Postdoctoral Association (CPA) is a dynamic organization,
administered by postdocs and mandated to enhance the postdoctoral
experience at California Institute of Technology (CIT) and
Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL). Our activities, workshops,
and events are designed to fill long neglected niches of
a postdoc’s work and life. While postdocs at CIT have always
benefited from working with many of the world’s most prolific
faculty, several key areas involving professional and personal
development have historically been underrepresented. Along
with providing a strong voice for advocating positive change,
the CPA has successfully offered postdocs a multitude of
programming to supplement their research agendas. The CPA
has made significant progress in bettering the postdoctoral
experience at CIT by working closely with the Postdoctoral
Scholars/Visitors Services (PDS) located within the Office
of Human Resources, and the Office of the Provost. The CPA
also works in close partnership with the Graduate Student
Council (GSC) and the Caltech Alumni Association (CAA) to
co-sponsor events of mutual interest. The CPA has established
a strong tradition of community, by bringing postdocs together
from all divisions for numerous career and social events.
