Postdoctoral Scholar: Definition

We define a postdoctoral scholar, per the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA), as “an individual holding a doctoral degree who is engaged in a temporary period of mentored research and/or scholarly training for the purpose of acquiring the professional skills needed to pursue a career path of [their] choosing.”
