Career Development
Dual-Career Program
Recognizing dual-career partner assistance is a crucial element in recruiting and
retaining excellent faculty, the University of Houston has established a program that
offers assistance to qualified couples. The UH Dual-Career Program is a partnership
between the departments, deans, the Provost’s Office and the broader community. The
program is administered by the Office of Faculty Recruitment and Retention.
Faculty Engagement and Development
The mission of the Office of Faculty Engagement and Development (FED) is to support
and increase student success by promoting, supporting, and fostering a culture of
excellence through the comprehensive development of the UH faculty. The FED provides
resources to support growth in teaching proficiency and effectiveness, successful
faculty career progress, research productivity, and service to the University and
broader communities. Professional development is supported at all stages of faculty
careers and for all faculty groups, including actively promoting existing opportunities
for professional development.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Welcome to the University of Houston Postdoctoral Fellows Association (UHPFA). The
purpose of the Association is to establish a network of support for postdocs who may
be new to the City of Houston and to research positions at the University of Houston.
The Association was created to connect new postdocs with UH faculty, alumni, and researchers
to enhance funding opportunities, interdisciplinary research, and professional development.
