Postdoctoral Fellows
Postdoctoral fellows (postdocs) must have recently (normally within five years) been awarded a PhD or equivalent degree. As a postdoctoral fellow, you will be an essential member of the University and its partnerships by working with faculty, conducting research, and engaging with graduate students.
Prospective postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to identify and contact faculty members who have similar research interests to discuss the possibility of becoming a postdoctoral fellow with a particular faculty member’s research team.
