National Postdoc Appreciation Week 2025

Running from 15th – 19th September 2025, National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) is an opportunity to celebrate the invaluable contributions that postdoctoral researchers make to the University’s research excellence, impact, community and culture.

The events outlined below are offered to help researchers gain more knowledge and understanding of how to make the most of their time at Liverpool, as well as reflect on their strengths and career plans. Attending these events gives postdocs more ways to meet with peers and members of the Research Staff Association, both in-person and virtually, for further advice and guidance on the many resources available to the University’s research community.
