Event Registration

7th National Postdoctoral Appreciation Week

Postdoctoral researchers play an integral role in Kansas State University's research, scholarly, and creative activity and discovery (RSCAD). Postdocs help researchers complete projects, author publications, secure external funding, and incubate innovative ideas. The K-State Postdoctoral Association was established in October 2014 to support the more than 120 recent PhDs engaged in research at K-State and help make our institution a great place to work.

Please join us at the following events to celebrate Postdoc Appreciation Week. Thank you to the Office of the Vice President for Research for sponsoring the events.
