Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA)
Postdoctoral Fellows at Boston University Medical Campus
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs recently established on the Boston University medical campus, is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and focuses on support of the postdoctoral fellows, a vital part of Boston University School of Medicine, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, and Boston University Medical Center. The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is housed within the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences. Our mission is to help and support postdoctoral fellows by addressing their needs and providing resources across the medical campus. Our website is dedicated to postdoctoral fellows throughout the Boston University medical campus and has been designed to offer gateway for a wide range of resource information that will be of value during postdoctoral experience.
Yolanta Kovalko assumed the position of the Director for Postdoctoral Affairs under the direction of Dr. Linda Hyman, the Associate Provost for the Graduate Medical Science on January 3, 2011. Ms. Kovalko is responsible for managing the administrative infrastructure necessary to support postdoctoral fellows and for managing the day-to-day operations of the Office for Postdoctoral Affairs. The OPA is busy planning some inaugural events – look for announcements of these in the not too distant future.
We hope to be both a starting point for identifying resources available to you for the resolution of any problems that you may have, and, also, a resource for you so that your stay here is as pleasant and productive as possible. It is important to note that we consider ourselves to be your advocates. I encourage you to explore and utilize this website and our office to let us know of your needs. If we are unable to assist you directly, we will be able to refer you to an office or department that can. We wish you the best and encourage you to utilize our services. We look forward to working with you.
