Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The Postdoctoral Fellowship program at the University of Rochester is designed to prepare PhD-prepared nurses or other licensed health care professionals for a successful research career.
We seek PhD-prepared nurses or other health science disciplines for postdoctoral fellowship
positions to be trained under the mentorship of School of Nursing scientists. The goal of the Postdoctoral Fellowship program is to prepare fellows to develop a record of scholarship and the skills needed for success in a tenure-track position in a research-intensive university.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship program seeks to:
- Attract promising postdoctoral candidates in areas where faculty members have expertise
- Provide trainees with experiences needed to develop research expertise, including hands-on learning with the mentors' research
- Offer programming that complements the specific scientific area training with the trainees' senior scientist mentor(s)
- Support trainees as they build knowledge, skills, research ethics, and portfolios required for success in a tenure track position in a research intensive university and for leadership in the field
