Postdoctoral Scholars + Visitors
The University of Alberta is fortunate to have a community of about 650 postdoctoral scholars (PDS) and 1,800 academic visitors helping to shape our future. We’re dedicated to facilitating and fostering their research, training and professional development.
The Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) serves as a liaison between postdoctoral scholars and academic visitors, faculty, administrators and staff. On our website, you’ll find information related to current and prospective postdoctoral scholar appointments, frequently asked questions and links to helpful services and resources.
