Stanford Postdoctoral Recruitment Initiative in Sciences and Medicine (PRISM)
Stanford PRISM, created in 2017, connects advanced graduate students from a broad range of backgrounds with potential postdoctoral mentors at Stanford. Through PRISM, students visit campus to explore the postdoc training environment, build relationships with faculty, and determine whether advanced training at Stanford would support their career goals. With one of the largest postdoc populations in the country and a strong commitment to supporting postdocs’ success and thriving, Stanford provides a uniquely rich training environment. Stanford postdocs work alongside top scientists and simultaneously develop their professional skills, explore career options, and prepare for independent careers. Apply to PRISM and discover whether you can see yourself thriving as a postdoc here.
PRISM is open to graduate students from all backgrounds and in all fields, though we especially encourage applicants from the broad spectrum of identities that are underrepresented in academia to apply.
