Professional Research Training
The multitude of schools, centers, and institutes housed at The George Washington University provide significant opportunities for postdoctoral research training.
Postdoctoral researchers can be found in all areas of the University, including the biology, chemistry, high-performance computing, physics, and psychology departments.
GW’s location in the heart of Washington, D.C., provides numerous opportunities to collaborate with the world’s most prestigious research organizations. Among GW's partners in research are the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities.
In addition to the University’s resources, Washington, D.C., also provides a wealth of research resources, including the National Library of Medicine, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress.
Each GW department maintains its own listing of postdoctoral research needs. GW’s Office of Graduate Student Assistantships and Fellowships is another resource for graduates looking to find postdoctoral work at both GW and other institutions.
