Howdy Postdoc! You’re in luck, Stanford has many resources that can help you find friends, navigate crises, or grow personally and professionally. The trick is finding them. We’re trying to organize some here and keep them updates. If you find anything we should add or change, please contact us.
If you are a current or prospective Stanford postdoc and have a question or need more information on a given postdoc-related issue, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) likely has an answer for you! Their website contains a vast amount of information and tools to enhance your postdoctoral experience, including a comprehensive “People and Offices to Support You” resource page, found here.
Additionally, SURPAS maintains a list of resources that you might find helpful.
