Some impressions from the 1st NYU PoIntS:
Postdocs are important pillars of academic research in the arts, science, and technology. At New York University, we, the postdocs, want to play an active role in the future of research professionals. We are determined to be at the forefront of establishing best research practices and sustainable professional life, to define academic standards, and to attract future talents to NYU. Moreover we want to build academic bridges across our highly diverse and talented postdoc population to promote research innovation.
