The JILA Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Fund supports Postdoctoral Researchers at JILA. The JILA Postdoc Group (JPG) organizes events for postdocs at JILA with the objective of creating community among JILA postdocs and boosting their professional development. Some of the events we organize include social lunches and dinners, as well as professional development panels involving JILA faculty, industry panelists, and other JILA groups such as JAGS. In addition, we are currently running a mini-grant program through which postdocs can receive financial assistance to attend professional development events for which their group's or PI's funds are not applicable or sufficient. For more information about JPG, please contact Dr. Diego Padilla at difa1788@colorado.edu or Dr. Martin Lebrat at martin.lebrat@colorado.edu.Ìý
