(FOA)-UK-CARES Faculty Fellows in Science Communication; May 11, 2020

 

The UK Center for Appalachian Research in Environmental Sciences (UK-CARES) is pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the third cohort of Faculty Fellows in Science Communication.

 

This year-long program is designed to provide faculty with skills training for communicating science to a broader audience, leading to enhanced capability for outreach and success in research, teaching, and service. Faculty at UK and other Kentucky colleges, universities, vocational/trade schools or high schools with interest in environmental health science and education in Appalachia are eligible to apply.

 

Participating as a Fellow in Science Communication is a great opportunity for faculty to enhance their research and service expectations for promotion and/or tenure, career advancement, or professional development by gaining access to community partners in the Appalachian region and networking with UK-CARES faculty, leading to potential opportunities for funding through the UK-CARES Pilot Program. For more information, click the Fellows flyer.

 

We invite you to nominate faculty with an interest in environmental health science. Interested applicants are also encouraged to self-nominate or to ask a mentor or administrator to make the nomination.

 

First-round nominations are due no later than May 11, 2020.

  

For questions, please contact Kelly Kennoy at Kelly.Kennoy@uky.edu or 859-323-4587.
