Welcome to The Graduate School web pages for the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars. The OPS provides a formal communication link among Postdoctoral Scholars, faculty, and the University administration. We provide assistance for new Postdoctoral Scholars with information for new employees at UB including off campus housing, and tips on life in Buffalo. We will offer all scholars enhanced training opportunities through targeted seminars and research symposia as well as hosting social functions for Postdoctoral Scholars from across the University. Special events and services for International Postdoctoral Scholars will also be highlighted. Our mission also includes support and guidance for faculty who employ Postdoctoral Scholars. We have a sustaining membership to the National Postdoc Association (NPA) so all postdoctoral scholars and faculty members at UB may apply for a free affiliate membership.
