Office of Postdoctoral Affairs

Stanford’s roughly 2,500 postdoctoral scholars play an important role at the university, contributing to research, education, and clinical missions, as well as to the student experience by serving as mentors. Here, three postdocs reflect on their work, their career paths, and how sports, political conflict, and Star Trek inspired their research.

Sixteen postdoctoral scholars were honored in a ceremony last week for their work advancing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion on campus and beyond.

A collaboration of top research institutions has received NSF support for a program aimed at strengthening retention of diverse scholars during and beyond the postdoc, thereby enhancing faculty diversity.
