Postdoctoral fellows are highly trained researchers and clinicians who are interested in additional training opportunities to hone their independence, technical skills, and to focus their interests. Post-docs are an integral piece of both the training, clinical and research missions of UNM. Post-docs represent the intellectual strength of our institution and are the drivers of UNM's programs. They also provide a rich source of expertise that is invaluable in helping train graduate students and undergraduates at UNM.
UNM's goal is to provide quality research and clinical training and professional development opportunities for post-docs, with a special emphasis on developing training plans that are tailored to the career goals of individual post-doctoral fellows. Institutional support includes providing opportunities for post-docs to perform cutting-edge research and/or clinical studies, the availability ot NIH-supported (and other) training grants that provide financial and research support for projects, and access to educational and career development resources, counseling services, and job and grant opportunities. UNM also provides support and training for the mentors of post-doctoral fellows.

Dr. Kathryn Sánchez was recently named as one of six 2022-23 IMPACT Fellows by the National Postdoc Association. The IMPACT Fellowship Program was launched last year to empower postdoctoral scholars from underrepresented backgrounds to build skills, understand strengths and develop networks. Dr. Sánchez was selected after a highly competitive application process. Dr. Sánchez looks forward to community building in New Mexico as an IMPACT Fellow and is excited to work with colleagues from all over the country. She also hopes to learn from them as we build our local UNM Post-Doc Association.
UNM's Postdoc Association (PDA) is here to help support our Postdocs. For more information visit our website.
