Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities: Frost Funded

A generous donation from William and Linda Frost supports this unique postdoctoral program in the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics. The Frost Teacher-Scholar Postdoctoral Fellowship program is designed to give recent Ph.D. graduates the opportunity to gain valuable experience in both research and teaching. Postdoctoral Fellows receive competitive salary and full benefits for two years, during which they will have the time, space and support to build an impactful line of research and mentor undergraduate students within research and teaching contexts. Experienced faculty mentor the fellows in both research and teaching. Fellows participate in an active research program, as well as learn to mentor undergraduates and integrate research into undergraduate teaching. These skills and experiences will be invaluable to postdoctoral candidates seeking to make progress toward research and teaching careers.

Valuable Benefits

In addition to mentorship and experience in teaching and undergraduate research, Fellows benefit from professional development opportunities, including regular group meetings and workshops, as well as a budget for conference travel to present research findings. The Frost Teacher-Scholar Postdoctoral Fellows offices are housed in the newly opened William and Linda Frost Center for Research and Innovation, the Bailey College’s hub for undergraduate research in the heart of campus.
