About Badger Buddies
Badger Buddies is a peer mentorship program aimed at helping new postdocs make the most of their experience at UW–Madison.
We usually conduct monthly “mentorship meetups” focusing on a vast array of aspects of Postdoctoral life – For example, transitioning into your Postdoc from a PhD program to Industrial/Academic career discussions. Every month, a guest is invited to present about a topic then answer questions and provide resources for Badger postdocs. Even better, it is followed by a social event nearby to promote interactions and networking between the postdoc community!
All postdocs are invited, and especially new postdocs, to attend upcoming meetups developed by postdocs, for postdocs!

Upcoming Postdoc Peer Mentorship: Starting Your Postdoc at UW-Madison
Thursday 10/5/2023 4:30pm-5:30pm. Nancy Nicholas Hall (1300 Linden Dr) Room 2255
In this session, we’d like to direct you to some important resources for new postdocs on and off-campus, tips on living in Madison, provide some information on the UW-Madison Postdoctoral Association and its role in fostering our community, and offer general advice. We will then have time to answer further questions. All postdocs are invited, and especially new postdocs, to attend the upcoming meetup developed by postdocs, for postdocs!
After the Mentorship Meetup, there will be a postdoc social event at the Library Cafe and Bar (320 N Randall Ave). Check the Badger Postdoc Slack workspace here for updates.
