Rice Academy of Fellows

The Rice Academy of Fellows invites a select group of exceptional Rice postdocs to become Fellows. The program focuses on community-building and professional development, fostering lively intellectual exchange among Fellows and faculty speakers and preparing Fellows for success as they pursue the next steps in their careers. Many Rice Academy events are open to the larger postdoc community: these lectures and workshops are routinely advertised in the postdoc newsletter, the Postdoc Post.
