The Postdoctoral Scholar is hired directly by a department in the college. These fellowships involve both teaching and research during the academic year, and summer effort is devoted completely to research. Scholars are assigned both a teaching and a research mentor and work with them to develop an Individual Development Plan. Scholars are eligible and encouraged to participate in professional development activities with the FSU Postdoctoral Association.
