PROGRESS in STEM Education Postdoctoral Fellowship

Postdoctoral Research Opportunities for Greater Retention, Engagement, Scholarship and Success (PROGRESS) in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education

The Weber State University College of Science is about to welcome the first cohort of its PROGRESS in STEM postdoctoral fellowship program.

The fellowship will provide structured teaching and professional development opportunities that contribute to advancing knowledge regarding STEM learning and learning environments, and career-readiness skills for four postdoctoral fellows who will interact with the College of Science, and the Jerry & Vickie Moyes College of Education.

PROGRESS fellows will teach a course, and be the instructor on record, in their time at WSU and have access to a plethora of resources, such as faculty development courses, organized and trained faculty mentorship, internal funding opportunities, an individual professional development plan, a job search and career transition workshop series, a WSU postdoctoral association and more.

Fellows will become well-versed in numerous areas, such as inclusive and high-impact teaching, developing research and teaching methods to reach a diverse array of students, and integrating high-impact educational experiences into classes.
