Opportunities for Postdoctoral Fellows Postdoctoral Fellows are a vital component of the research activities at Whitney Laboratory. In any given year there are between five and ten postdocs in residence, attracted by the modern research facilities and the opportunities for collaboration. Faculty members recognize that career goals, too, are an important consideration and Whitney Laboratory postdocs, with faculty support, have successfully competed for funding from such agencies as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Some postdocs have advanced directly to faculty positions at various universities. Postdoctoral Fellows interested in working with a particular research group should contact that group's principal investigator directly. Click to read more...
