On behalf of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA), welcome to North Carolina State University! Postdoctoral scholars are a vital part of the research endeavors at our university, and NC State University’s OPA was established on August 1, 2008 to serve as a clearinghouse for information related to postdoctoral appointments as well as to provide programs, resources and support to postdocs. As the biggest land-grant university in North Carolina and as part of the Research Triangle, this institution provides an array of resources for our postdoctoral scholars to prepare them for both a successful transition to our university community and to a career beyond their postdoctoral appointments. This website provides postdocs with information about a variety of topics, resources and opportunities.

The vision of OPA is to enhance, support and promote the postdoctoral experience so that postdoctoral scholars can contribute effectively to the research and scholarly endeavors of NC State University, develop their professional skills more intently, and move on to rewarding and successful careers.
