Postdoctoral Fellow; Biological Sciences Plant Molecular Genetics
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Details
Posted: 29-Nov-24
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Internal Number: 53410
Position Number: POST40
Department: Col Liberal Arts & Science (Col)
Employment Type: Temporary - Part-time
Months Per Year: 12
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
A Postdoctoral Fellow (""postdoc"") is a professional apprenticeship designed to provide
recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research skills
acquired in their doctoral programs or to learn new research techniques, in preparation for an academic or research career. In the process of further developing their own
research skills, it is expected that Postdoctoral Fellows will also play a significant role in the performance of research at the University and augment the role of graduate faculty in providing research instruction to graduate students. A Postdoctoral Fellow works under the supervision of a regular faculty member, who serves as a mentor to the
Fellow, and it is expected that the faculty mentor will impart the realities, and variety, of scientific careers, and will encourage experiences outside the laboratory to broaden postdocs' aspirations. Within the confines of the particular research focus assigned by that faculty member, the Postdoctoral Fellow functions with a considerable degree of
independence and has the freedom (and is expected) to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment. Thus, the role of Postdoctoral Fellows is clearly differentiated from full-time technical employees.
Postdoc appointments are characterized by all of the following conditions:
* the appointee was recently (within the last eight years) awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.);
* the appointment is temporary;
* the appointment involves substantially full-time research or scholarship;
* the appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic and/or research career;
* the appointee works under the supervision of a faculty member; and
* the appointee has the freedom and is expected to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment.
