We have over 30 postdoctoral researchers in our department labs performing diverse and innovative research at the cutting-edge of their fields. As a department, we support postdocs by providing opportunities to present their research, sponsoring a committee to represent postdoc interests to the department, providing leadership and professional development opportunities, and inviting postdocs to all our social events. We strive to make our community a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. We hope you find the contacts and resources on this webpage useful for navigating aspects of being a postdoc at UNC.
