The postdoctoral research experience emphasizes scholarship and continued research training for individuals who have recently completed a doctoral degree. The postdoctoral scholar conducts research under the general oversight of a faculty mentor in preparation for a career position in academe, industry, government, or the nonprofit sector.

Postdoctoral research work provides essential experience and training that may include opportunities to enhance teaching and other professional skills. Postdoctoral scholars who contribute significantly to the formal instructional mission of KSU may be hired, with final approval by the Provost, to positions carrying a title that formally recognizes the joint research and teaching expectations.

The Office of Undergraduate Research is committed to empowering students to conduct meaningful and informative research.
