UBC is home to over 800 Postdoctoral Fellows spanning over 90 departments and 10 hospitals and affiliated sites.
In order to boost the visibility of UBC’s Postdoctoral Fellows, postdocs are invited to create a Postdoc Profile to share information about their research expertise and current work at UBC.
This list is not a comprehensive list of all Postdoctoral Fellows at UBC. If you are a UBC Postdoctoral Fellow and wish to create a Postdoc Profile, please visit the Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies Faculty and Staff Portal to create your profile.
Please contact us if you have any questions about a Postdoc Profile.
