Postdoctoral Liaison Committee
Mission statement
To improve the Postdoctoral experience at CSHL by providing personal and professional support to the CSHL postdoc community. We represent and communicate postdoctoral affairs to CSHL Leadership and mediate transparency.
Members of CSHL’s Postdoctoral Liaison Committee (PDLC) are elected each year by their peers. They meet regularly with CSHL’s postdoctoral community, leadership, and Scientific Advisory Committee to discuss postdoctoral affairs at CSHL and facilitate communication between postdocs and senior leaders on campus.
