'Posthumously' refers to something after someone has died, usually in the case of awards being given to someone for achievements before their death. It's an adverb and is not used often. Here's an example: "Joe Bloggs was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize posthumously and the prize was collected by his wife, Mary Bloggs." [Joe Bloggs is the UK version of John Doe!]
