Supporting Our Postdocs

As part of the mission of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we are dedicated to maintaining a productive and welcoming environment that enables all of our postdoctoral fellows (postdocs) to maximize their training experience. We recognize that while the ultimate responsibility for career advancement lies with each individual fellow, our role is to facilitate this journey through a comprehensive range of support mechanisms.

We have developed an array of seminars, workshops, and other valuable resources, each designed to provide essential information and skills in critical areas such as career development, grant writing, communication skills, conflict resolution, and responsible conduct in research. By equipping our postdocs with these tools, we aim to empower them to navigate their research careers with confidence and competence.

Moreover, we proudly serve as advocates for all postdoctoral fellows, striving to create a sense of community and belonging during their time at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. We firmly believe that quality of life forms an essential foundation for success in both study and work. We go beyond academic and professional support to organize a variety of social and networking activities. These include lunches, social evenings, and roundtables on important professional issues. Through these initiatives, we aim to foster a supportive and collaborative environment where our postdoctoral fellows can form meaningful connections, exchange ideas, and find a sense of camaraderie. Our holistic approach to postdoctoral support reflects our commitment to nurturing not just skilled researchers, but well-rounded professionals prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their careers.
