Job Opportunities

The University of Wyoming has frequent openings for postdoctoral research associates in a wide range of disciplines. In many cases the positions become open through the availability of funding for specific research projects and may be filled on relatively short notice. We encourage doctorally qualified scholars who are interested in postdoctoral positions to submit inquiries and standing applications to faculty members or department heads in any discipline of interest.

UW is a research-extensive doctoral institution with active projects spanning its seven colleges: Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Law. The main campus is in Laramie, Wyoming, a city of 27,000 perched in a high valley between two ranges of the Rocky Mountains. As the states only public university, UW enjoys strong legislative support and a broad array of scholarly emphases.
