Committees of the Los Alamos Postdoc Association

The Los Alamos Postdoc Association (LAPA) has a number of committees in order to accomplish specific goals that address the needs of LANL's postdocs. As a goal is achieved a committee may be phased out and as new needs are recognized then new committees will be created to meet those needs.

The following are the presently standing committees of LAPA, each with a short description and a link to the respective committees web-site:

Career Committee

The Career Committee is tasked with finding and making information available to LANL postdocs concerning external career opportunities. This will include bringing companies to LANL to interview postdocs as well as organizing career fairs.

Communication Committee

The Communication Committee is responsible for the upkeep of the LAPA's web pages as well as publicity for LAPA.

Conversion Committee

Conversion from a postdoc position to a TSM can be an experience steeped in mystery. This committee will gather information concerning the process and share it with the Lab's postdocs through a variety of venues.

Executive Committee

This committee consists of the leadership of LAPA: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer as well as the Chairs of the standing committees.

Finance Committee

Consisting of the Committee Chairpersons, or their representatives, as well as interested General Members, in order to form a budget for the Los Alamos Postdoc Association. In addition the Finance Committee will be responsible for auditing the financial records of the Association Treasurer.

Policy Committee

The Policy Committee is responsible for drafting bylaws for the organization of LAPA. In addition, the Policy Committee will ensure at least once a year, that the bylaws are relevant and up to date.
