Welcome! The Office for Academic Personnel & Faculty (APF) recognizes and values the contributions of postdoctoral scholars to the UW community. The goal of these pages is to connect postdoctoral scholars, their faculty advisors, and unit administrators with the resources they need, whether it’s navigating policies or developing as scholars and professionals.
In the menu to the right, you can find resources for UW-affiliated postdoctoral scholars, their faculty advisors, and unit administrators. In those pages, we have curated resources organized around the themes of administrative affairs and employment and professional life. Below, you can find information on upcoming events from around UW.
This page is actively maintained by the Faculty Development unit of APF.
