The goal of the Research Fellowship is to give postdoctral scholars a year of protected time to focus on their research while also integrating them into the everyday life of a dynamic, multidisciplinary institution within a health science center.
Our Fellowship Offers
Fellows are expected to carry out their research projects and to collaborate with BHH faculty on new projects. In addition, fellows will teach one BHH graduate seminar in their research area and may be involved in educational sessions for healthcare professional students and practicing clinicians. As a member of BHH, fellows will participate in departmental events, such as seminar series and work in progress sessions.
Eligibility
Fellows should have a terminal degree (PhD, JD, or MD/DO) and research interests that interface with bioethics and health humanities. This is a one-year program that runs from September 1 to August 31. Scholars may apply for renewal for a second year. In addition to a salary of $63,000, scholars will receive health insurance, professional development funds, office space, library access, and various other UTMB benefits.
Application
Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest in this program, including your research project(s), potential topics for a graduate seminar and curriculum vitae to the Search Committee (bhh@utmb.edu). We begin accepting applications in January for a start date of September 1.
