Faculty
Faculty supervisors/sponsors are the linchpins of the postdoc and visiting researcher experience, and vital to the success of their program. We want to make it as easy as possible to get the information you need to help your visitors and postdocs succeed. This page serves as your roadmap.
Staff
Staff provide invaluable expertise, service, and connections to the communities we all serve. As the link between VSPA and our community, staff are essential to the success of our scholars' arrival and beyond. Here we provide guidance on appointments, processing times, fees, and payment.
