Postdoctoral research programs are typically not degree-granting with graduation ceremonies, and are not traditionally enrolled. There will be no coursework or syllabus, but researchers need to work on a real-world research project.
Researchers will receive offer/invite letters after the shortlisting process to be a part of the institution and to collaborate with different institutions/industries in publishing their works.
Postdoctoral research programs might have symposiums, consortia, and/or convocations to receive completion letters/certificates.
The prospective Postdoctoral research fellows can be nominated by existing Fellows or institutional partners.
Please do not submit any original documents (hard copies). For verification purposes, you may present the originals for review as evidence, but not submit.
