Job Description

The IRACDA Program at the University of Kansas (KU) is accepting applications for postdoctoral scholarships. We are seeking scholars who are excited about a postdoctoral experience that combines both research and teaching/education.

The KU IRACDA (Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards) is a postdoctoral training program supported by NIH-NIGMS . We seek to prepare postdoctoral scholars for careers in academia by providing a mentored research experience, and opportunities to gain skills in education and teaching. Scholars will spend ~75% of their time conducting biomedical research relevant to the NIGMS mission, and ~25% of their time on teaching-related activities.

Postdoctoral scholars will be mentored in research by a KU faculty member. Faculty in the following departments on the KU-Lawrence campus are affiliated with the KU IRACDA program: Molecular Biosciences , Ecology & Evolutionary Biology , Chemistry , Pharmacology & Toxicology , Pharmaceutical Chemistry , and Medicinal Chemistry . Additionally, faculty in the KU Cancer Center (some of whom are based at KU Medical Center in Kansas City) are also affiliated with the KU IRACDA. These groups provide an excellent environment for research development in a range of biological and biomedical fields, and these experiences will be supplemented by skill-development workshops.

In addition, the KU IRACDA provides scholars with an opportunity to gain teaching skills via mentored teaching experiences at one of two partner institutions; Haskell Indians Nations University (based in Lawrence) and Kansas City Kansas Community College .

Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents with no more than 2 years of postdoctoral training at the time of their appointment to the program. We strongly encourage applicants to identify a research mentor prior to applying (see links above), and the program directors can assist in this process. We have 4 open positions, each of which can be supported for up to 3 years. The anticipated start date is January 6, 2025 (but this is negotiable/flexible).
