Postdoctoral Research Mentor of the Year Award

The UT Health San Antonio Postdoctoral Research Mentor of the Year Award recognizes exceptional faculty who mentor postdoctoral research fellows at UT Health San Antonio. The awardee will receive institutional recognition and a cash award. 

Nominations are invited from any postdoctoral research fellow currently training at the institution or past postdoctoral research trainees (i.e., within 3 years of completion of postdoctoral training at UT Health San Antonio). A current or past mentee may nominate only one faculty mentor and must have been under the research mentorship of the nominee for at least 6 months at UT Health San Antonio.

Any full-time UT Health San Antonio faculty who has conducted research at the institution for a minimum of three (3) consecutive years and served as a mentor for one or more postdoctoral research fellows is eligible for nomination. Nominees will have direct, on-going, and significant involvement with postdoctoral research fellows as well as evidence of commitment and effectiveness as a mentor of postdoctoral research fellows during their careers at UT Health San Antonio. Nominees are faculty who have records of excellence in activities that guide postdoctoral research fellows toward intellectual and professional independence. Prior recipients of the UT Health San Antonio Postdoctoral Research Mentor of the Year Award are not eligible for nomination until 3 years have elapsed since their most recent award.
