Abstract

An intrinsic case study explores the personal and professional support provided to international science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) postdoctoral scholars through postdoctoral offices at colleges and universities across the United States (US). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 US postdoctoral office directors to explore this topic. Participant interviews were analyzed inductively and resulted in four themes: (1) Understaffed and underfunded; (2) Identification and communication challenges; (3) Social and professional development programming; and (4) Targeted support through specialized programs. The identified themes could be particularly instructive to US postdoctoral office directors and international faculty sending Ph.D. graduates to the US for postdoctoral training.
