The Postdoctoral Affairs Office supports both postdoctoral scholars and faculty mentors by strengthening recruitment, onboarding, mentoring, and professional development. We foster an inclusive, connected, and professionalized environment for postdocs that advances Lehigh’s research mission and strategic plan.
Our work includes:
- Providing hiring guidance and implementing the university’s postdoctoral salary policy
- Standardizing onboarding through monthly orientations and the Postdoc Buddy Program
- Offering professional development workshops, including the Faculty Job Search Series and CIMER mentoring training
- Building community through social events, networking opportunities, and support for the Lehigh Postdoc Association (LPDA)
