Postdoctoral Fellows and Academic Visitors Office transitioned to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research

On January 17, 2022 the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) took over support for postdoctoral fellows and academic visitors. This move creates a centralized access point for support services including awards, funding, HR, and professional development, benefitting not only postdocs and academic visitors, but also faculties and departments. FGSR is a single contact point, support base, and advocate for postdocs and academic visitors, simplifying navigation, increasing support accessibility, and providing advocacy for this specialized community at the University of Alberta.
