Every day, we collaborate at the forefront of fundamental and translational science in pursuit of groundbreaking treatment strategies for cancer, Parkinson’s and other diseases. Through shared values and an entrepreneurial spirit, we spark innovation to multiply the impact of discovery and answer critical questions about our world.

As a reflection of this commitment, we are pleased to join the Coalition for Next Generation Life Sciences, a collaborative effort to enhance transparency by publishing outcomes data for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Metrics include:

  • Admissions and matriculation data of Ph.D. students
  • Median time-to-degree and completion data for Ph.D. programs
  • Demographics of Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars by gender, underrepresented minority status and citizenship status
  • Median time in postdoctoral status at the institution
  • Career outcomes for Ph.D. and postdoctoral alumni, classified by job sector and career type using a common taxonomy Source: Coalition for Next Generation Life Sciences

Van Andel Institute Definition of a Postdoctoral Fellow/Fellowship

The fellowship is a limited time after receipt of a doctoral degree for mentored and advanced training through research under the supervision of a principal investigator (mentor). The postdoctoral fellow, in mutual agreement with their mentor, undertakes an individual research project and service, teaching and professional development activities that together will provide the experience and knowledge essential for career advancement and establishing an independent career.

By Gender
