WHAT IS IT? The Survival Guide is intended to help new and established postdocs survive life as a postdoc at UCLA. It is intended as a local supplement to a really insightful set of documents provided by the National Postdoc Assoc here:

Also look at our web resources guide.

The Graduate Division maintains pages with information for postdocs and also has an Orientation Guide for Graduate Students that has some useful information.

YES YOU CAN ADD TO IT! It is a collaborative project and the website allows all logged-in members to edit pages. Don't worry if you mess up - all previous versions are saved. If you want to stay anonymous or don't have a login, feel free to post a topic in the forum or contact us with any information you have instead.
