Beshoy Morkos

Associate professor Beshoy Morkos has been named as one of two UGA Office of Research Faculty Fellows for 2023-24, and will spend this year getting an up-close view at research administration at UGA.

The Office of Research’s Faculty Fellows Program was piloted last year as a way to train potential future leaders across its many areas of administrative responsibility. Now in full operation, the program allows for the selection of two full-time faculty who will be embedded within the Office of Research senior leadership team.

“Pursuing fundamental research solely within disciplinary domains has become inadequate, as the complexity of problems has surpassed the capacity of individual academic fields,” Morkos said. “This program will provide me with an opportunity to learn the intricate system that underpins our research pursuits by offering valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms and governing principles operating behind the scenes.”
