Graduates of a doctoral program have a wealth of knowledge that can be expanded within the postdoctoral scholars program. These scholars assist with a variety of activities including, but not limited to:

• Preparing and reviewing manuscripts
• Attending and presenting at meetings and seminars
• Participating in limited-time, teaching-related activities
• Adding to the Professional and Career Development Archive and the monthly newsletter, Postdoc Press
• Subscribing to the Postdoc Listserv, which contains career opportunities, funding announcements and other important information
• Sitting on the Postdoctoral Advisory Committee, a committee of faculty, administrators and postdoctoral scholars that advises and supports the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs

In recognition of completing a postdoctoral appointment, scholars may submit an official Postdoctoral Certificate Request. Scholars also receive recognition through the Excellence in Postdoctoral Scholarship Awards, which recognizes the promise and contribution of postdoctoral scholars.
