Postdoctoral Research Fellows

The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health recognizes the invaluable contributions of postdoctoral fellows in advancing public health and fostering innovation. The School is committed to providing an enriching environment to support growth, excellence, and the development of skills necessary to thrive as independent researchers.

New postdoctoral fellows will receive information from various sources. To assist with the onboarding process, a Postdoc Checklist is available, outlining key tasks to support a successful start. Appointing department or division administrators provide additional specific instructions tailored to each role.

Postdoctoral Association (PDA)

The Harvard Chan School’s Postdoctoral Association (PDA), established in 2007, organizes social events, workshops, and networking opportunities to enhance the postdoc experience and foster a strong sense of community.

For additional guidance or questions, prospective and current postdoctoral fellows can contact the Office of Faculty Affairs.

The School is dedicated to supporting postdoctoral fellows throughout their time at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
