Postdoctoral fellows at Harvard play a critical role in research activities across the academic landscape. This website, dedicated to prospective and current fellows across the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), has been designed to offer a wide range of resource information that will be of value during your postdoctoral experience. We invite you, as a member of the larger Harvard community, to take advantage of these resources to both help ease your transition to postdoc life and to provide for your continual well being during your time here.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2012 Postdoctoral Awards for Professional Development!

These awards, funded by the FAS Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, fund professional development activities, such as conference travel and course enrollment, of postdocs in the FAS and SEAS. The Office will offer two cycles of awards each year, and each award may be up to $1,000.

In this inaugural cycle of the awards, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs received 80 applications. As there were so many strong applications, and as each applicant did not require the full amount of the award, the Office was able to distribute not 10 but 15 awards to the postdocs below:

From L: Peter Blake (PED/Psychology), Elizabeth Barron (OEB/STS-HKS), Timothy Newhouse (CCB), Fariba Parsa (Ctr for Middle Eastern Stds), Nathan Martin (Music), Nir Bar-Gill (Physics), Brooke Flammang-Lockyer (OEB), Levi Yant (OEB), Ali Kabiri (SEAS), Pedro Mateo (Linguistics), James Wallbridge (Math), Jennifer Silva (Sociology), Michael Durney (MCB), Amanda Veile (HEB).
