Application Deadline: 1 April 2025
The School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is now accepting applications for its Postdoctoral Research Associate Program, which seeks to enhance the impact of, and opportunities within, Information Sciences and related disciplines by actively mentoring scholars who have successfully completed their doctoral work by July 1, 2025.
Candidates will seek to strengthen their research, scholarship, engagement, and teaching portfolios before moving into a professional career. Those preparing for tenure-stream assistant professor positions are encouraged to apply. Each postdoc is assigned to a faculty mentor, who will provide individual guidance and support.
Initial applications must include a CV, statement of interest, and an initial individual development plan. Mentoring plans are also required and will be developed in collaboration with a potential faculty mentor, either before or during the application process (See Application Process below). In addition to developing their research agendas, iSchool-supported postdocs will demonstrate their teaching readiness by teaching one course per semester and they will serve on at least one service committee.
