Resources

Postdoc Positions

All searches for internally-funded postdoctoral positions are managed through University Human Resources (UHR). Please visit UHR to view available postdoctoral positions, which are generally listed with the title "Research Associate."

Prospective postdocs in the biomedical sciences are asked to complete an Application of Inquiry.

Postdoc Handbook

An online handbook containing information on postdoc life at U.Va. is available here.

Postdoc Extensions

Postdoctoral appointments lasting beyond three years must be approved by the department/program, the dean's office, and the Office of the Vice President for Research. The form is available here.

Postdoc Seminar Series

Beginning in June 2005, Postdoctoral Enhancement Programs initiated a seminar series for postdoctoral fellows and associates at the University. The series aims to provide the postdoctoral community with information and resources above and beyond that provided through individual departments and principal investigators (PIs). Below is information on past and future seminars. Where available, links have been provided to materials presented by speakers (*.pdf). If you are a postdoctoral fellow or associate and would like to suggest a seminar topic, please e-mail postdoc-at-virginia.edu.

All seminars are held in Jordan Hall, Rooms 2ABC from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. View the seminar schedule.
