Postdoctoral Services
Vice President for Research

Welcome to the Office of Postdoctoral Services

Postdoctoral scholars are an essential component of the research program at Virginia Commonwealth University.   The Office of Postdoctoral Services (OPS) was established in the summer of 2007 in recognition of the important role postdoctoral scholars fulfill within the university.

The goal of the OPS is to support postdoctoral training at VCU by:

  • serving as a liaison between postdoctoral scholars, faculty, administrators and staff on campus;
  • providing resources and information to facilitate the recruitment, employment,  mentoring, and career development of postdoctoral scholars; and,
  • assuring that faculty and postdoctoral scholars are aware of university policies, procedures and benefits for postdoctoral scholars.
