Job Summary | Since 1990, the Office of the Vice President for Research has supported two postdoctoral fellowship programs with the primary goal of diversifying the pipeline of candidates qualified to become academic leaders in their fields. These programs support the stipend, plus benefits, for the fellows along with some funds for their research career development. Because a major goal of these fellowships is to prepare the fellows to be competitive for faculty positions, we will be enhancing the research development activities associated with these awards. Fellowship recipients will pursue an individualized research program under the mentorship of one or more UK professors and actively participate in departmental and professional research related activities. In addition, a series of research career development activities will be available which are designed to enhance the fellow’s competitiveness for a future faculty position. The Lyman T. Johnson Postdoctoral Fellowship is named in honor of UK’s first African-American graduate student, and prioritizes funding for candidates from - that are traditionally underrepresented in the faculty ranks. Race, ethnicity and national origin, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs manual, are among the factors that contribute to diversity and inclusive excellence.

Preference will be given to applicants who do not have a prior or present postdoctoral appointment at UK. Applicants who received their terminal degree at UK should be affiliated with a research group other than the one in which they did their prior research to expand their research experience. The University has a commitment to responsible research in all disciplines.
