Postdoctoral Fellows + Visitors

The University of Alberta is fortunate to have a community of about 650 postdoctoral fellows (PDF) and 1,800 academic visitors helping to shape our future. We’re dedicated to facilitating and fostering their research, training and professional development.

The Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) serves as a liaison between PDFs and academic visitors, faculty, administrators and staff. On our website, you’ll find information related to current and prospective PDF appointments, frequently asked questions and links to helpful services and resources.
