Who are Postdoctoral Fellows?
Postdoctoral fellows, commonly known as postdocs, professionally conduct research after the completion of their doctoral studies. 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 partner institutions by working with faculty, conducting research, and engaging with graduate students.
