The Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Postdoctoral Program is designed to develop scholars for tenure-track faculty positions at the University of Missouri or elsewhere, and support their contributions for promoting excellence in research and teaching environments. The PFF program is a unique opportunity for emerging scholars. The primary goal of the PFF program is to recruit exceptional post-doctoral scholars to retain in tenure-track faculty positions and champion research and teaching environments in which all individuals can thrive. The fellowships are typically for two years, during which time the scholars focus on scholarship and participate in professional development activities that integrate and expose them to the faculty experience, including the opportunity to teach in their discipline during the second year.
Please note that the PFF postdoctoral program was previously known as the PFFFD postdoctoral program.
We are no longer accepting applications for this program.
