To help the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars (OPS) move forward and adapt to the changing times and the changing postdoctoral fellows' landscape, we seek input from various stakeholders. This Postdoctoral Advisory Committee consists of current postdocs, UMB faculty members, and UMB alumni now working in different biomedical fields. Committee members serve two-year terms and meet once every three months.
