JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: Postdoctoral Fellow: According
to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Science
Foundation (NSF), a postdoc is an individual who has received a doctoral
degree (or equivalent) and is engaged in a temporary and defined period
of mentored advanced research training to enhance the professional
skills and research independence needed to pursue his or her chosen
career path. In addition, according to the National Postdoc Association
(NPA), Postdoctoral appointees can pursue basic, clinical or
translational projects so long as their primary effort is devoted toward
their own scholarship. Postdocs are essential to the scholarly mission
