Welcome
Greetings and Welcome to the Wayne State University
School of Medicine postdoctoral programs.
Postdoctoral trainees are essential to our long-standing tradition of excellence in training and research programs. The knowledge and skills that you have already acquired and will continually strive towards will greatly enhance the research at our institution. In order to augment the training experience for both trainees and mentors, our Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) will provide the necessary resources to all our postdoctoral trainees for a unified plan of training in professional and personal career development. This newly created office, under the leadership of Dr. Ambika Mathur, will provide assistance with establishing uniform sets of postdoctoral polices and governance, building career developing curricula, and interacting and working with other institutional resources and offices.
We firmly believe that this combination of research development provided by the mentors and career development provided by the OPA will only further strengthen the training environment for all postdoctoral trainees in our school, in accordance with the U.S. government’s policies on postdoctoral training as outlined in the 2008 America COMPETES Act.
