U-LINK Predoctoral Fellowship

U-LINK Predoctoral Fellowship

The U-LINK Predoctoral Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for innovative doctoral students interested in completing their dissertation in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment. Project proposals that tackle problems aligning with UM’s Roadmap To Our New Century initiative are encouraged. As a U-LINK Predoctoral Fellow, the student is required to identify at least two UM faculty advisors, representing at least two distinct disciplines, with whom to complete his or her dissertation work.

The U-LINK Predoctoral Fellowship is intended for exceptional graduate students already enrolled in a University of Miami doctoral program and highly committed to engaging in problem-based interdisciplinary research. Applicants should not have completed all coursework unless they have already taken coursework in a second discipline that is relevant to the proposed project. Applicants must be currently in good standing with their graduate program.
