As a postdoctoral scholar and fellow at the University of California Irvine you will be part of the outstanding accomplishments and potential that define our campus. After only 38 years, Irvine has achieved national and international recognition. Our reputation reflects the outstanding contributions of our faculty, the high caliber of our student body, the dynamics of our curriculum, our technological orientation, and our exceptional commitment to quality progressive research and education.
UCI's campus is set on 1,500 acres of coastal foothills in
Irvine, California, just 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean and Newport Beach. A walk across the UCI campus reveals some 22,000 students from every state in the nation and more than 100 countries. As a UCI student scholar, you will become a member of this diverse multicultural, international, and intellectual community. Please note that if you are a
non-U.S. Citizen considering UCI for post-doctoral study, you should immediately start finding out more about your visa requirements, housing, and other time sensitive needs.
Visitors to UCI are struck by its natural park-like beauty as well as the cutting-edge research and scholarly work quietly going on in its surrounding buildings. UCI's circular design successfully integrates the natural open space with the modern architecture of the academic, research and administrative structures. Ring Road, a mile in circumference walkway, is the pedestrian thoroughfare that connects the
Student Center with campus classrooms, eateries,
libraries, laboratories,
housing and faculty offices. The Ring also serves as the outdoor staging area for a full
calendar of cultural and social activities.
Life at UCI is as dynamic as it is intellectually challenging and rewarding.
