Postdoctoral Fellows (PDFs) are important and valued members of Carleton’s research community. To find PDF opportunities on campus, we suggest you search the Carleton website for faculty members who share your research interests and then contact them directly to express your interest in becoming a PDF. Postdoctoral Fellow positions are not centrally posted.
All PDFs are administered through the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs and must be registered with this office. If you have any questions, please contact Crystal French, Program Coordinator.
