Postdoctoral education plays an important role in the research enterprise of The Florida State University. Postdoctoral appointments provide recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research skills acquired in their doctoral programs or to learn new research techniques. The Florida State University is ranked by the Carnegie Foundation in the prestigious doctoral research extensive category, its highest category for a graduate-research university. Because of its emphasis on research, the nearly 300 postdoctoral researchers at FSU have unprecedented opportunities to explore science, technology, mathematics and other academic fields.
If you are looking for a postdoctoral opportunity at The Florida State University, you are encouraged to contact faculty directly for positions that may be available. In the future, a link to specific opportunities will be provided on this site.
External Graduate and Post-Doctoral Research Funding
FSU subscribes to several databases that include research funding for graduate students including the Community of Science and SPIN websites. Additional searchable funding sources may be found on the Division of Sponsored Research website. These databases have graduate and postdoctoral opportunities in all disciplines, not just the sciences and engineering. Detailed searches from the Foundation Center Online are available by request through the Office of Corporate R&D.
Note: This service is made available to the FSU community through our subscription with COS. If you're logging on from a computer on-campus you should have direct access. If you're off-campus please log in using the EZ proxy login accessible by going to FSU Libraries OFF-Campus Access.
