Title: Presidents Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program:
The University of California President's Postdoctoral
Fellowship Program was established in 1984 to encourage outstanding
women and minority Ph.D. recipients to pursue academic careers at the
University of California. The current program offers postdoctoral
research fellowships, faculty mentoring, and eligibility for a hiring
incentive to qualified scholars in all fields whose research, teaching,
and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity at the
University of California.
The goal of the program is to provide research opportunity and career
development for scholars whose work will enhance the diversity of the
academic community at the University of California.
President's
Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to
- establish residence at the campus of their postdoctoral appointment,
- focus full-time on research and avoid other commitments such as
teaching,
- meet regularly with their faculty mentor, and
- attend the annual the Annual Fall Meeting and the Academic Spring
Retreat.
These contributions may include public service addressing the needs of
the increasingly diverse society, efforts to advance equitable access to
higher education for women and minorities, or research focusing on
underserved populations or understanding issues of racial or gender
inequalities. The program is seeking applicants with the potential to
bring to their academic careers the critical perspective that comes from
their non-traditional educational background or understanding of the
experiences of groups historically underrepresented in higher education.
