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.

Samantha Cyrill

Nikita Francis
Borniger Laboratory
Nikita joined the PDLC as a first-year postdoc in 2020. In addition to communicating postdoctoral affairs to the CSHL administration, she hopes to promote educational workshops, academic and non-academic networking events, outreach events, and social activities in and outside the campus through the PDLC platform. Through these events, she hopes to help build a strong network for the postdocs in CSHL.
Jason Lynn
Martienssen Laboratory
Jason joined the PDLC in late 2021 with the goal of facilitating social interaction and building community among postdocs at CSHL. He believes that developing connections between postdocs is not only important for professional development but also for mental health. As the current treasurer of the PDLC, Jason intends on utilizing institutional funds to provide opportunities for postdoc social events in a fun and relaxed environment which, in his opinion, is the best way to share ideas and get to know each other.
