UAF Centennial Postdoctoral Initiative seeks applicants
January 21, 2020
The University of Alaska Fairbanks invites applications for postdoctoral positions through the Centennial Postdoctoral Initiative.
The initiative seeks early career scientists, scholars or artists who will engage
in research or creative expression relevant to Alaska, the circumpolar North or other
UAF research priorities. Five awards are anticipated for this recruitment. Scholars
will be chosen through a highly competitive process. As such, these appointments will
carry special recognition.
The full-time, 18-month, term-funded positions will be located at UAF. To be eligible,
applicants must have received a doctoral degree between Jan. 1, 2015, and June 1,
2020. The application deadline is 11:59 p.m. Alaska Standard Time, Feb. 17, 2020.
Applicants do not need to have received their degree prior to applying, as long as
they present a certified letter from a university official stating that they have
completed all requirements to receive it. Successful applicants also must have completed
their final thesis and have co-authored at least two peer-reviewed publications based
on original research, or have equivalent accomplishments in a creative or scholarly
discipline. Publications may be in press.
Applicants who wish to conduct research are encouraged to contact individual faculty
directly prior to submitting the application. Each recipient should pursue research
interests in association with a faculty sponsor in such a way that it will benefit
the research of both the postdoctoral researcher and the faculty sponsor.
