The Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) aims to facilitate and strengthen the resources, community, and support for postdoctoral trainees (PDTs) at the University of Pennsylvania. OVPR works in close collaboration with our faculty and administrative partners throughout the research community and across Penn’s twelve schools that manage and guide the University’s 1,300+ postdoctoral scholars. Our efforts rely on intentional and continuous engagement with a diversity of stakeholders and we invite feedback on how to best support the postdoc community in their research and professional development.
