PHS Postdoctoral Program
Welcome to the PHS Postdoctoral Program
At the Department of Population Health Sciences, we are dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive community for our postdoctoral scholars. Our comprehensive program, led by Co-Directors Drs. Rebecca Delaney and Nasser Sharareh, ensures that each scholar feels valued and integrated into our vibrant academic environment.
We hosted a panel discussion about postdoctoral life followed by a painting workshop.
Bringing postdocs and PhD students together with an axe throwing activity.
Another fun event - bowling at the University of Utah Student Center!
