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 backgrounds 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.
Applicants must be eligible to compete for federally-funded
postdoctoral grants. This includes the eligibility requirement
that, by the time of award, the individual must be a citizen or a
non-citizen national of the United States or have been lawfully
admitted for permanent residence. They also must have completed the
doctoral degree within the past two years, or longer with
justification, or will complete the doctoral degree before the date
of appointment. 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. All UK faculty, staff, and students participating in
research and scholarly activity, whether externally or internally
funded are required to complete the mandated Responsible Conduct of
Research ( RCR ) training on an annual basis. The Office of the
Vice President for Research expects that recipients of this
