NYU’s Innovation Postdoctoral Associate
New York University’s Innovation Postdoc-in-Residence program is designed to cultivate a new generation of postdoctoral associates who bridge the gap between academic research and industry innovation. This two-year program, one year based at NYU New York and the second at NYU Tulsa, equips participants with the business and entrepreneurial skills and the interdisciplinary experience necessary to translate cutting-edge research into real-world applications.
Postdoc Associates will engage in an innovation challenge and immersive experiences that foster interdisciplinary collaboration, support cutting-edge innovations, and connect their work to the broader community. This unique program is open to all current PhD students, including international students from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and Stern School of Business who will defend their dissertation by August 2025.
