Postdoc 101

Welcome to Boston University, and to BU’s thriving research community. Our office is here to help with any questions you have about postdoc life and connect you with the resources on campus that serve and support the postdoc community.

Here you will find information on the basics of being a postdoc at Boston University. You can refer to the postdoc onboarding checklist to keep track of your progress from pre-arrival to settling in at BU. You can sign up for an orientation session, and also for PDPA’s Postdoc Digest to stay up-to-date on featured workshops, PDPA and BU events, and opportunities.

We look forward to meeting you! Please reach out to us with any additional questions.
