Communications Working Group

The Communications Working Group keeps the PostdocNet community connected, informed, and visible. We maintains the PostdocNet website, MAX page, and social media channels (including LinkedIn and Instagram), while supporting networking, science communication, and outreach initiatives.

The group is led by four Focus Area Group Leaders:

• Sarah Kramer – Website and MAX page
• Himanshi Singh – Social Media & Podcasts
• Sarah Jean McPeek – Blogs & Vlogs
• X. Alvin Yang – Networking & Science Communication

What We Do

• Collaborate with the Steering Group and other Working Groups to ensure timely, accurate communication
• Support science communication, including social media and blog posts
• Build and maintain external partnerships and Networks (e.g. The Tri-Network Collaboration with the Helmholtz Association PostDoc Network and the Leibniz PostDoc Network)
• Launch and support outreach activities
• Promote upcoming PostdocNet events
• Plan, design, and create original digital content to keep postdocs informed and engaged
• Design flyers, info sheets, and other outreach materials to help recruit new institutes and welcome new external representatives
• …and much more!
