Postdoctoral researchers at York University are early-career researchers working under the general supervision of a faculty member. Research conducted by postdocs makes an important contribution to York’s research community and enables the postdoctoral fellow to deepen and diversify professional development, and improve qualifications for a more permanent faculty position in research and/or teaching and/or in a related career path outside the academy.
