Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Faculty Information Sessions

Virginia Tech's Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship program seeks to aid faculty in recruiting talent to the university.  Proposals to the program require a candidate to be identified and for that individual to work with a Virginia Tech faculty member or members to craft a compelling proposal to the program.

Three distinct tracks are available for faculty and their prospective postdoc to submit to:

• Research Frontiers
• Cybersecurity
• Innovation  

Additional details on the program can be found by following the links below:

• Information for interested faculty mentors
• Program eligibility and proposal preparation instructions

Proposals are accepted twice per year with submission deadlines of Mar. 1 and Nov. 1.

To help faculty at the university understand the program's goals, tracks, and submission requirements, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs will be holding three virtual information sessions in Fall 2025. These sessions will also cover details on how proposals will be assessed. There will also be time for faculty to ask questions about the program.
