UChicago’s Post Doctoral programs allow for students to develop independence and leadership in their desired field of research, by working on their own projects, getting published, participating in the Post Doctoral Association, and acting as a mentor, especially for undergraduate researchers. The independent and individualized work that postdoc students participate in, allows them to find their own "niche" by combining and pursuing research and academic knowledge in any field or discipline that piques their interest, providing a plethora of career paths for students to choose from when they decide to begin their career journey.
Although there is no specific CCB Post-Doctoral Program, students can find support for one another by participating in the Post Doctoral Association, that provides information and resources for all Postdocs around the university.
