When you first join UCSF as a postdoc, you are automatically included on several postdoc-specific listservs. These listservs are designed to help you connect with the vibrant UCSF postdoc community by sharing information and requesting support from your peers. Timely and important information on events, seminars and funding opportunities are also published regularly to these lists.
