PRESIDENT’S POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
THE 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 and faculty mentoring to outstanding scholars in
all fields whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to the
diversity and equal opportunity at the University of California. The
contributions to diversity may include public service towards increasing
equitable access in fields where women and minorities are
underrepresented. In some fields, the contributions may include research
focusing on underserved populations or understanding inequalities
related to race, gender, disability or LGBT. The program is seeking
applicants with the potential to bring to their academic and research
careers the critical perspective that comes from their non-traditional
educational background or understanding of the experiences of members of
groups historically underrepresented in higher education in the United
States.
AWARDS AND APPOINTMENTS. Fellowships are awarded
for research conducted at any one of the University of California’s ten
campuses. The award includes a salary starting at approximately
$54,540 depending on field and experience, benefits including health
insurance and paid vacation/sick leave, and up to $5,000 for
research-related and program travel expenses. Each award is for a
minimum of 12-months and may be renewable for an additional term upon
demonstration of academic/research productivity.
ELIGIBILITY. Applicants must receive a Ph.D. or terminal degree from an accredited university before the start of their fellowship.
Successful applicants must present documents demonstrating that they
are legally authorized to work in the United States. Individuals granted
deferred action status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
program are encouraged to apply.
