Position Description:    

*** this position has been closed and new applications are no longer accepted. ***

The University of Kentucky offers special postdoctoral fellowship opportunities in the sciences for women and underrepresented minorities. The Department of Physics and Astronomy strongly encourages qualified candidates to apply. Candidates should be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and have completed their PhD within the past two years. The application deadline for these fellowships is 1 November 2020. If you are interested in applying for one of these fellowships, please send an email inquiry to shapere@g.uky.edu no later than 27 October.

Our department has research programs in astronomy and astrophysics, atomic physics, condensed matter theory and experiment, nuclear theory and experiment, high-energy theory and phenomenology, and quantum information science. Applications are welcome in all these areas.

More information about the Lyman T. Johnson Fellowship and the University Research Fellowship, including application requirements and selection criteria, is available here. Application materials must be submitted through the official University of Kentucky portal at the bottom of this page. The application requires some coordination with the sponsoring faculty member, so it is important to initiate the process as soon as possible. The University deadline for applications is 1 November 2020.

The UK Department of Physics and Astronomy is committed to supporting an inclusive and diverse environment, to providing opportunities for members of underrepresented groups, and to helping to promote inclusivity in the fields of physics and astronomy. The University of Kentucky is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity University that values diversity and supports family-friendly policies.
