Rice is rated among the nation’s top institutions in the United States and has a world-wide reputation for the quality of its teaching and research programs. Rice’s over 100 postdocs make a major contribution to that effort and greatly enrich the intellectual vitality of the campus by creating new knowledge and making novel discoveries that advance our understanding in areas that improve the lives of others. Postdocs are also a vital educational resource, and most postdocs interact with undergraduate and graduate students on a daily basis in the research laboratory.

Rice provides an opportunity for postgraduate scientists and engineers to work and train with some of the world’s leading faculty in modern research facilities. At Rice, postdocs are encouraged to hone their talents, expand their research experience, and cultivate a research program that can form the basis for their research career.

Postdocs make up a very-much-appreciated segment of the university research and teaching community, and the Rice faculty and administration are committed to making the postdoctoral experience the best that it can be.
