Postdoctoral Programs
Our postdoctoral programs cross boundaries and take scholars to the next steps of their career with the connections and community that we offer. With the help of the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, programs are tailored to prepare postdocs for careers as independent researchers, academics and leaders of their chosen fields.

Join 91ºÚÁÏÍø’s postdoctoral community in shaping a supportive and enriching postdoctoral journey at 91ºÚÁÏÍø and CHLA.
Signature Programs
91ºÚÁÏÍø Society of Fellows in the Humanities
91ºÚÁÏÍø Society of Fellows in the Humanities is an interdisciplinary community of postdoctoral scholars and faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. With its focus on cross-discipline approaches, it promotes intellectual exchange for research and teaching.
Postdoctoral Fellowships for Sustainability Solutions
The program aims to accelerate sustainability research; train future leaders in academia, government and non-governmental organizations, and industry; and support discovery, evaluation, and implementation of innovative solutions to sustainability problems.
Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholars Program for Clinical Residents and Fellows
This signature program gives senior residents and fellows the unique opportunity to spend a significant portion of their training period in pursuit of research or scholarly activity. The program is only geared to senior members of residency programs and/or fellowship programs at University Hospital, LAC+91ºÚÁÏÍø Hospital or Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholar Research Grants
The primary purpose of the Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholar Research Grant program is to facilitate the independence of our postdoctoral scholars and help launch their research careers. It does so by providing grants that assist postdoctoral scholars in developing or maintaining their own independent research projects.
Postdoctoral Scholar Travel Support
The Postdoctoral Scholar Travel support program is designed to enable postdocs to attend professional conferences to present their research. This funding opportunity will partially offset the expense associated with registration and travel to present your research at local, national or international conferences. This program is intended to assist postdoctoral scholars whose attendance at a professional meeting or conference will enhance their professional development.
