Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The University of Wyoming is inviting applications for Distinguished Postdoctoral
Fellows for conducting convergence research at the intersection of different disciplines.
This year, the program will support a cohort of up to six postdoctoral fellows for
two-year terms. Postdoctoral fellows participating in the program will receive professional
development opportunities, including entrepreneurship-focused workshops, and mentorship
from experts in at least two disciplines. Projects involving collaboration with DOE
National Laboratories are encouraged.
UW Awarded Distinguished IEP Designation
The University of Wyoming has achieved official designation as an IEP institution
by the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU). IEP, which stands
for Innovation and Economic Prosperity, is a program established in 2013 by APLU as
a collaborative institutional strategic planning and transformation program and distinguished
recognition. IEP Designation recognizes higher education institutions with a substantial,
sustainable, and institution-wide commitment to economic engagement. IEP designees
such as UW completed an intensive, introspective, and earnest process of institutional
self-study and engagement with internal and external stakeholders to identify the
strengths of the institution’s economic engagement enterprise and areas for growth
and improvement—all while sharing and learning from peers and experts across North
America. Earning the designation is an opportunity for UW to strengthen stakeholder
engagement, strengthen indicators of success, inventory work in economic engagement,
identify strengths, and areas of growth and improvement. The APLU awarded the designation
to UW at the end of September, 2024.
