Welcome to the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA)

The mission of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) is to serve as an administrative and academic center of excellence for postdoctoral scholars across USF. The office strives to foster a robust postdoctoral community, provide opportunities to enhance the postdoctoral experience and future success for its constituents, serve as a dedicated resource for postdoctoral scholars, faculty and administrators, and promote the university’s dynamic program of postdoctoral opportunities while supporting postdoctoral scholars throughout their time at USF.

The objectives of the OPA that impact USF’s postdoctoral scholars include: providing administrative support and guidance to USF colleges and postdoctoral scholars throughout the recruitment and hiring process; building collaboration among postdoctoral scholars, colleges, other USF departments, and graduate students; and offering professional development workshops for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors.

Our goal is for each postdoctoral scholar to have an exemplary professional and personal development experience while at USF.
