Welcome!

Our office serves over 1,300 postdocs, college fellows, and research associates across the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), and all Harvard-affiliated schools, centers, and institutes in Cambridge. Working in partnership with the FAS Postdoctoral Association, our mission is to help postdocs to reach their career and professional development goals, to build our postdoctoral community, and to serve as a resource to campus constituents on postdoc life and work.
