A postdoctoral research program is an essential stage in the development of a competitive scientific career and in strengthening the profile of an independent researcher. The postdoctoral period serves as a launching pad for academic positions. The postdoctoral researcher position at UVT is compatible with continuing a career within the university after completing the program, by accessing a higher-level research or teaching position.

Postdoctoral research can also provide a supportive environment for involvement in multidisciplinary research and innovation teams, offering access to international networks, cutting-edge research infrastructure, international mobility, and competitive funding sources.
