Постдокторска истраживања на Рокфелеру

Postdoctoral appointments are temporary appointments made to individuals who were recently awarded a Ph.D., or its equivalent, in an appropriate field and are dedicated to full-time research or scholarship. Appointments are made every year and may last from three to five years but are not to exceed five years at the University. Postdoctoral scholars make vital contributions to the University's scientific programs while gaining valuable research training and experience under the mentorship of ahead of laboratory, culminating in published results. During this time, they are encouraged to develop a distinct research line that will allow them to gain independence in preparation for a scientific career.

The university has a strong commitment to the full involvement of postdoctoral scholars in all aspects of the community's scientific, educational, and cultural activities. Each year 300 postdoctoral trainees are associated with the research of the 78 laboratories, where they are encouraged to continue their scientific training and pursue their research interests.

Postdoctoral trainees typically participate in the many seminars and symposia held at the university. In many instances, candidates for postdoctoral training at the university obtain funds from a private or governmental granting agency. However, the university awards approximately 15 to 20 postdoctoral fellowships annually to young scientists in the early stages of their training.

Established in 1901, the Rockefeller Institute for Biomedical Research was a revolutionary concept of the time: an institute dedicated to researching the underlying causes of disease.

The world’s leading biomedical research university, Rockefeller draws top scientists and graduate students from around the world to pursue one mission: to conduct science for the benefit of humanity.

Our nimble organizational structure is designed to speed progress. Unrestricted by bureaucracy, our scientists are free to move in whichever direction their research takes them and poised to perform at their best.

Rockefeller has a strong tradition of translational science—nearly half of the university’s laboratories conduct studies on human subjects. The exceptional resources at The Rockefeller University Hospital allow our scientists to conduct clinical research that would be difficult to do anywhere else.
