This postdoctoral salary may be supplemented from other sources, but it is a requirement of the program that the postdoctoral fellow's effort be fully committed to the research project. Teaching, clinical duties, and other non-research activities as a component of the position are not allowable. Specific exceptions require the approval of the SOM Research Committee and will be considered on a case by case basis. The SOM Research Committee will review and rank proposals and submit funding recommendations to the dean for final approval. Applications received after the deadline will be considered if funding is available.
