Postdoctoral Fellows

This site for postdoctoral fellows is under development. If you have information you would like to have considered for inclusion here, please submit your suggestions by e-mail to the Office of the Vice President for Research.

Postdoctoral Associations

Links to organized postdoctoral groups and programs at The University of Texas at Austin. If you have established a postdoctoral fellows organization or your department has a postdoctoral program, we can add your contact information and Web site. Submit requests by e-mail to the Office of the Vice President for Research.

The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) is a member-driven organization that provides a unique, national voice for postdoctoral scholars. The University of Texas at Austin, through the Graduate School, has purchased a sustaining membership from the NPA, which entitles everyone affiliated with the university to obtain a free affiliate membership in the NPA (PDF). (To access or complete PDF forms, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.)

The affiliate member enrollment form is online.  This is a significant new benefit for post docs and other individuals at the university.

Postdoctoral fellows can sign on to the mailing list to share information between each other and find announcements from the Office of the Vice President for Research.
