About the Program
As articulated in the University of Maryland’s (UMD) strategic plan, Fearlessly Forward, UMD is inspired by values-driven excellence, impact, innovation, collaboration, service to humanity, and a belief in the value of a broad range of perspectives, scholarship, and experiences. It is through our individual and collective actions, as guided by our values, that we advance the public good.
UMD seeks applicants whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to its ability to achieve its aspirational goals as articulated in its strategic plan. In particular the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is interested in scholars with the potential to bring to their research and teaching the critical perspective that comes from their educational backgrounds and experiences to work towards resolution of the grand challenges of our time.
Through this program, the University seeks to facilitate the hiring of postdoctoral scholars into tenure track faculty positions at the University. More details are available here. Although the Program is open to all fields and disciplines, preference will be given to applicants whose research interests fall within STEM.
The University of Maryland, College Park is located in Prince George’s County, within the Washington/Baltimore Metroplex, five miles from the District of Columbia line. The institution enjoys a rich academic and cultural community with world-class scientific and artistic centers on campus, as well as connections to many adjacent institutions of higher learning.
