Plant Postdoc Slack is a vibrant community created for postdoctoral researchers working in plant-related fields. As postdocs, we all share the journey of striving for more independent positions in academia or industry. Our community provides a safe space to peer-review application materials, offer advice, share opportunities, and support each other as we navigate our career paths together.

To further empower our members, we established the Sahyadri Award. This award is more than just recognition—it features a mentorship program designed to support recipients in their research endeavors. By connecting awardees with experienced mentors, we help them advance their projects, build professional networks, and gain the confidence needed to take the next step in their careers.

We are seeking funds to support the Sahyadri Award and its mentorship program. Your support will directly impact postdocs by enabling us to provide recognition at this critical stage in their professional journey. We invite you to join us in building a stronger, more connected plant science postdoc community. Every contribution helps us nurture the next generation of plant scientists.
