The Johns Hopkins Homewood Postdoctoral Association was formed in 2007 to promote the thriving community of postdoctoral scholars at Johns Hopkins University. There are nearly 200 postdocs across all the disciplines in the Whiting School of Engineering and the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. This association was conceived to foster a sense of community, to provide support and information, and to offer resources for career and personal development for all postdoctoral scholars. The postdoctoral association is administered by postdocs, and supported by the JHU administration to provide postdocs with an exceptional scholarly and personal experience during their tenure at Hopkins. The association also strives to create a stronger sense of community through an email listserv, web site, and social activities.

Please navigate through this web site to help answer the many questions you surely have before you arrive to Hopkins and throughout your appointment. Explore this web site for information regarding housing, visas, identification cards, email service, healthcare, and more. Visit the Postdoc Resources page for campus life resources, such as the recreation center, child care services, parking and transportation, and more. Also, make sure to periodically check our calendar of events for exciting social and professional programs. We invite you attend these activities as well as our meetings to enhance your postdoctoral experience at Hopkins.
