#StanfordPRISM invites graduate students from all fields and backgrounds, especially those from the broad spectrum of identities that are underrepresented in academia, to consider Stanford for postdoctoral training. Stanford has one of the largest postdoc populations in the country and a strong commitment to helping postdocs succeed and thrive. Through PRISM, cohorts of students visit Stanford to interview with faculty, connect with current postdocs, and learn about postdoctoral training.
Review our guidance on preparing a successful application and connecting with potential mentors, and contact the PRISM team (stanfordprism@stanford.edu) if you have any questions.
