Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Khoury College Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship is a prestigious fellowship opportunity for researchers in computer science and adjacent fields who have completed their PhDs and want to launch their independent research career. This postdoctoral fellowship is a unique chance to pursue your research interests with the financial backing of the College. Compared to other postdoctoral positions, the Khoury Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship provides an unusual degree of independence. While the fellow will be part of a research group at Khoury College — providing opportunities for collaboration and for initiating new research projects — and will be assigned one or more faculty mentors, they will not have a traditional postdoctoral advisor who directs their research. This model allows researchers the independence, flexibility, and support required to solve the fields’ most complex problems. The two-year postdoctoral fellowship provides researchers with discretionary funds for travel and research expenses, the opportunity to apply for external funding so they can gain valuable experience with proposal writing, as well as close guidance from one of Khoury’s faculty members who will prepare the fellows to apply for tenure-track positions at the completion of the fellowship.
Khoury College expects to award 4-5 fellowships with Fellows starting in Fall 2023. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply by January 31, 2023. Applications submitted after that date will be considered on a rolling basis but are not guaranteed to receive full consideration.
