National Postdoctoral Association

The NPA Annual Meeting is the largest meeting and networking event in the postdoctoral community.  Each meeting is highly engaging and productive for postdoctoral scholars, administrators, and other individuals working to enhance the postdoctoral experience.  Our Annual Meetings are held each year in the spring.

Where will we be in 2013? If your institution is interested in serving as a local host for the meeting, please download the Request for Proposals: NPA 2013 Annual Meeting RFP. The deadline for proposals has been extended to December 10, 2011.
