Advocacy Committee
Current Members:
Lynn Talton - Chair
Abtine Tavassoli
The Advocacy Committee exists to identify and address problems and concerns of postdocs that should be brought to the attention of university administration. Typical problems most postdocs encounter are insufficient salary, housing problems, lack of childcare options, deficient mentoring, and visa troubles. By contacting committee members directly, or posting to the forum, postdocs can bring problems to the committee's attention.
The committee is always seeking new members. We typically meet no more than once a month over lunch to discuss any new issues and brainstorm potential solutions. If you are interested in joining this committee, email the chair, Lynn Talton: ltalton at mednet.ucla.edu
We are currently seeking new committee members. Let Lynn know if you'd be interested in joining.
