Postdoctoral Scholars Resources
The Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) supports the scholarly journey and experience of postdoctoral fellows in the School of Arts & Sciences.
The success of postdoctoral fellows at Penn is important to us. To support the success of our postdocs we assist with the transition to Penn and provide professional and personal development. We accomplish this through collaboration with Penn’s Office for Postdoctoral Affairs, housed within the Office of the Vice Provost for Research, and postdoc leadership groups such as the Penn Postdoctoral Association and Penn Dubois Circle. Together we work as a network to build a supportive and thriving community of postdoctoral scholars.
Associate Vice Dean Vanessa Gonzalez-Perez, is available to meet with postdoctoral scholars and provide individual or leadership group support in areas including but not limited to:
- New postdoc orientation
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion topics
- Advocacy
- Mentorship/Coaching
- Effective communication
- Leadership initiatives
- Navigating Penn resources
- Referrals to institutional resources and other offices
Our goal is to become a visible and accessible resource to Postdoctoral Scholars within SAS.
