Research and Graduate Studies @ KU

Preparing Future Faculty accepts applications

Preparing Future Faculty helps graduate students who are about to seek or who are seeking academic positions. In order for PFF fellows to realize and understand the diverse academic opportunities available, PFF, with the help of its institutional partners, provides doctoral students with personal experiences at a variety of academic institutions. Through the course and workshops, PFF helps students navigate their entrance into academia and plan their futures.

PFF fellows, doctoral students in the dissertation stage of their degree, are generally chosen from departments that offer graduate programs that emphasize professional development. Some fellowships are available by self-nomination and an evaluation of goals and academics records. PFF fellows need the written approval and support of their departments to participate.

KU partners with Washburn University, Rockhurst University, Johnson County Community College, Central Missouri State University, University of Missouri-Kansas City and University of Missouri-Columbia. KU students meet with faculty, administrators and students to discuss academic life within university settings that are different than KU.

Applications for the spring semester are due by Nov. 30.
