Welcome, Prospective Postdoctoral Scholars!

Thank you for your interest in the Chicagoland STEM Postdoc Readiness Initiative! The virtual event for prospective postdocs hosted by the Initiative will take place Friday, November 7, 2025. 

A Collaborative Chicagoland Initiative!

About the Initiative

Thank you for your interest in the Chicagoland Postdoc Readiness Initiative, taking place Friday, November 7, 2025 on Zoom! 


This is a collaborative initiative among the three largest research universities in the Chicago area (UChicago, UIC, and Northwestern University). Our goals are to explain the postdoctoral recruitment and hiring process and empower prospective postdocs to make career decisions that reflect their individual goals and needs. 


This virtual event is open to all, but will be most useful for:

  • Advanced PhD students, i.e. you have passed your qualifying exam or are post-candidacy by the time the event takes place
  • Recent PhD graduates, i.e. you have received your doctoral degree within the past 4-5 years
  • Early-career postdoc scholars, i.e. you have no more than 2-3 years of postdoctoral experience


If you have any questions, please email us at chicago.postdoc.recruit@gmail.com.


Please note that this is a live event and will not be recorded.


The deadline to register is Friday, October 31.

Land Acknowledgement

The Northwestern, UIC, and UChicago campuses reside on the original homelands and traditional territory of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa Nations, as well as other Tribal Nations that know this area as their ancestral homeland, including the Menominee, Ho-Chunk, Miami, Peoria, Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Kaskaskia, Kiikaapoi, and Sac and Fox. Indigenous peoples are the traditional stewards of the land that we now occupy, living here long before Chicago was a city and still thriving here today and current home to one of the largest urban Native American communities in the United States. Native people are part of Chicago’s past, present, and future. Finally, to acknowledge is to act; we encourage anyone reading this to consider the multitude of ways to translate knowledge and thoughts into active support for Indigenous peoples and communities locally, nationally, and around the world.
