The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) identifies serving as a central resource on all matters pertaining to postdoctoral training for the university community as one of its primary goals.  To that end, the OPA provides resources to facilitate productive working relationships between faculty and postdoctoral fellows.  Though the OPA is currently in the initial stages of developing these resources, please check this page periodically.  We invite helpful suggestions on more information we can make available here.

Mentoring Resources page of this website contains a number of links to advice on how to effectively mentor a postdoctoral scholar.

Appointment guidelines have been provided to explain the steps to be followed to appoint a postdoctoral fellow.

Advertising open research positions  We are particularly pleased to be able to offer this no-cost  resource that allows  faculty members and/or departments at Northwestern or at our affiliate institutions to advertise open positions in their research groups.
