Join a world-class center for pioneering biomedical research. Postdocs are vital members of our institutional culture-valued and respected for their significant contributions to the University’s research enterprise.

The dedicated center for Postdoctoral Affairs ( https://www.oacd.health.pitt.edu/prospective-postdocs/prospective-postdocs-overview) is available to assist in all aspects of postdoctoral life in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is a thriving urban center with small-city benefits in a big-city atmosphere. Because of this, the life of a postdoctoral scholar is comfortable, affordable, and perfectly positioned to explore everything the city has to offer. You are part of a community rooted in deep personal connections, linked by distinct neighborhoods that are rich in ethnic tradition and cultures.

The University has long been regarded as a leader in academic research and a premier destination for those who continue to shape the future of biomedical science. In 2021, U.S. News & World Report ranked University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine as number 13 for Research in the United States. With nearly 70 percent of the University’s overall research funding dedicated to health sciences, the School of Medicine has significantly invested in renewed infrastructure for research disciplines such as developmental, cellular, structural, and computational and systems biology – as well as recruitment for first-class faculty.
