National Postdoc Appreciation Week launches Monday, Sept. 16, and continues through Friday, Sept. 20. In collaboration with campus partners, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs has curated a roster of events in celebration of the Vanderbilt postdoc community.
Vanderbilt postdoctoral fellows, commonly known as postdocs, are professionals who have earned doctoral degrees and are temporarily pursuing scholarly training, experience and research progress necessary for a wide range of career paths. Postdocs play an important role in Vanderbilt’s research enterprise and are integral to the discovery and learning mission of Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At any given time, Vanderbilt has about 500 postdocs across VU and VUMC.
The full schedule of events, along with registration details, are available online. For more information, email the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at opa@vanderbilt.edu.
