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.
