The new UR Stars Doctoral Career Advancement Program is an opportunity to enhance the faculty recruitment pipeline at the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY) and establish meaningful connections with early career scholars.

Scholars who participate in the program are strongly encouraged to apply for post-doctoral fellowships and faculty positions at the university.
