Welcome to Stony Brook

Stony Brook University recognizes the contribution Postdocs make to the research community and we expect your time here at Stony Brook University to be personally satisfying and professionally rewarding. We encourage you to explore the vast array of campus resources and services available to you on campus and in the surrounding area. We also suggest that you take a moment to look at the different pages on our website to see what resources, upcoming workshops, seminars or programs may be of interest to you. Good luck in your journey here at Stony Brook University!

In this handbook, you will find information for new postdocs joining us as well as policies and resources for all postdocs. If you need any additional information, don't hesitate to contact the Interim Director of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, Dr. Molly Lotz, postdocs@stonybrook.edu.

For a first step, you might consider completing our Postdoc Info Form,  to ensure we know you're here, and attending our New Postdoc Welcome, which is an introduction to the postdoctoral experience at Stony Brook held every quarter.
