Our Postdoctoral Scholars have completed PhDs and hold temporary academic appointments at CU, where they work closely with one or several INSTAAR researchers on a specific topic. Mentoring Postdoctoral Scholars on research innovation and professional development is a key INSTAAR mission. Current postdocs with questions or concerns should contact Kristýna Kantnerová (Postdoc Representative). Prospective postdocs should contact individual INSTAAR Faculty to explore potential collaborations; see Faculty pages for FellowsResearch Scientists, and Fellow Emeriti.
