Diversity Committee
Chairs
Emil Chuck, Ph.D. (Co-Chair)
Ahmed E. Ismail, Ph.D. (Co-Chair)
Description
The Diversity Committee is dedicated to increasing diversity at the postdoctoral level. The goals of this committee include:
- To encourage, foster, and increase diversity in the postdoctoral ranks across universities and research institutions nationwide;
- To increase awareness of the importance of diversity within the academic and research communities;
- To organize symposia and events at national conferences to address these goals; and
- To target colleges, universities and research institutions to both learn about issues relevant to potentially underrepresented postdoc groups, and to encourage networking, mentoring, and promotion of postdoctoral work among these groups.
Currently, the Diversity Committee is focused on identifying key issues and collecting data to determine which topics and initiatives should be addressed initially. Due to the nature of the committee’s charge, the Diversity Committee will maintain and foster close ties with the NPA Policy and International Postdoc Committees as well as other organizations dedicated to increasing diversity among postdoctoral fellows. Please see the Diversity Committee philosophy for more information.
