Will resources be available to support the professional development of postdocs?

Yes. Professional development to enhance core competencies in discipline-specific conceptual knowledge, research skills, communication skills, professionalism, leadership and management skills, and responsible conduct of research are key components of the GW postdoc experience.

GW is an institutional member in the National Postdoc Association, which provides many free resources on its website, and has a local chapter.

Mentorship is a central part of the postdoc experience. New resources for faculty mentors will be developed to enhance the GW experience. As they are developed, they will be posted to the OVPR postdoc website.

The School of Medicine and Health Sciences has also collected resources that are relevant to postdocs in the biomedical sciences.
