Each year, this award is presented to a postdoctoral scholar who has demonstrated exceptional mentoring capabilities when engaging with trainees and other members of their lab group. The individual(s) who is/are chosen must demonstrate leadership, communication, and management skills, and help foster a supportive lab environment.
We support the scholarship, mentorship and training of postdoctoral scholars across Ohio State.
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) was established in 2017 to enhance the postdoctoral experience for postdoctoral scholars across the university.
