National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) is September 16-20th, 2024. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all postdoctoral researchers working in the School of Medicine and to celebrate all of the amazing contributions that our postdocs make to research and discovery and to our community. 

 

The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs supports postdoctoral researchers in all aspects of their training and development toward independent careers. We collaborate with JHU-JHMI organizations, departments, faculty, and staff to enhance the research, training, wellness, and professional development of postdocs and to support their transition to successful careers in academia, industry, government, and other sectors.
