Provost's Career Enhancement Postdoctoral Scholarships

As part of an effort to promote a diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences among its faculty, the University of Chicago is pleased to announce the availability of 2-year postdoctoral research appointments through their Provost’s Career Enhancement Post-Doctoral Scholarship Program.  The postdoctoral scholarships are consistent with our commitment to building a culturally diverse intellectual community and developing scholars from underrepresented groups for possible tenure track appointments at the University of Chicago and other research universities.  The postdoctoral fellowships offer successful candidates the opportunity to pursue groundbreaking research in their field, increase their written scholarship and presentations at professional meetings, and pursue advanced training and mentorship with the nation’s premier faculty.

To apply for this award, please contact a faculty member you are interested in working with in the Summer prior to the Fall deadline of the award application. The postdoc would most likely begin in the Spring.

Department Travel Grants

The Department of Chemistry funds travel for several postdocs each year to attend a relevant scientific conference and present their work. The calls for applications generally come out each Spring.
