National Postdoc Appreciation Week is Monday, Sept. 15, through Friday, Sept. 19. In collaboration with several campus partners, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs curated a roster of events to celebrate its postdoctoral community, with festivities kicking off the evening of Friday, Sept. 12.
Vanderbilt postdoctoral fellows, commonly known as postdocs, are professionals who have earned doctoral degrees and are temporarily pursuing additional 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 both VU and VUMC.
The full schedule of events along with registration details can be found on the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs website. For more information, contact the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at opa@vanderbilt.edu.
