Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit

The Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research & Education (SPIRE) Program is administratively housed in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill.

SPIRE’s mission is to provide multi-dimensional professional development for science researchers and educators to succeed in academic careers, to bring engaging teaching methods into the classroom, and to increase diversity in science professions. The four major components of the SPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program include research, teaching, professional development, and additional opportunities over a three-year period.

The SPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program was one of the first grantees to receive funding in 1999 from the special Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) program, which is now part of the division of Training, Workforce Development, & Diversity under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).

The goal of SPIRE was to address the growing crisis in science education by investing in tomorrow’s science scholars and educators and providing them with a holistic approach to postgraduate professional development. SPIRE strives to blend an outstanding research environment with broad professional development activities and hands-on classroom experiences for those scientists who want to combine research with undergraduate and graduate education.

Position Summary

The SPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is a training experience where primary research is conducted at UNC Chapel Hill and teaching responsibilities are carried out at partner minority-serving institutions. The postdoctoral scholar will provide contributions to research progress in a laboratory research environment selected across a range of areas aligned with the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) research priorities. Opportunities to tailor the experience to meet individual training needs and professional goals include participation in formal teaching, professional development workshops, and the development of specific research, teaching, and other career related competencies. SPIRE training includes a pedagogical workshop series, IDPs and annual evaluations, and regular participation in training seminars.

The SPIRE Postdoctoral Scholar will perform original, independent research in the lab setting of their choice at UNC-Chapel Hill; work closely with Principal Investigators who provide guidance and mentoring on research projects; publish in peer-reviewed journals, presenting research findings at national and international conferences and participating in journal clubs and laboratory meetings; teach courses at one of four of the program’s partner universities; and engage in professional development that leads to academic careers.
