Welcome to Biomedical Postdoctoral Programs
The University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM) has long been a national leader in postdoctoral training. Nearly 20 years ago, PSOM established the first office in the country dedicated to supporting postdoctoral trainees.
Since then, the Biomedical Postdoctoral Programs (BPP) office has expanded to serve researchers across the Schools of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Nursing, and Dental Medicine, as well as affiliated institutions like CHOP, the Wistar Institute, Monell Chemical Senses Center, and Swarthmore College.
BPP is proud to offer innovative technical and professional development programming year-round, empowering postdocs at every stage of their journeys. We encourage you to visit our FAQ page first to get a better understanding of how our website is organized, and to use the search function in the top right corner to help find answers to your questions. If you ever have questions or need assistance, however, don't hesitate to reach out!
