New postdocs
All incoming postdocs complete an orientation with Kate shortly after their arrival to the Allen School. Its goal is to compliment their onboarding/HR orientation and be a first step toward establishing community beyond their PI or lab group. Postdocs are introduced to various postdoc-specific resources and amenities in the Allen School and at UW with special emphasis on those designed to support their personal and professional development.
