UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program - opportunities at UC Santa Cruz

[Andrew Fisher]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm writing to alert you to the University of California's President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP), for which applications are due 11/1/22. Please spread the word to recent and soon-to-be Ph.D. recipients whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity.

I will consider serving as a faculty mentor and welcome statements of interest from potential applicants who are interested in an appointment at UC Santa Cruz, with a focus on one of these two general research areas:

(1) Managed aquifer recharge, surface water – groundwater interactions, water quality, incentives for enhancing use of stormwater and floodwater for managed recharge.

(2) Subseafloor geothermics and hydrothermal systems on Earth and Ocean Worlds

The PPFP is described here: https://ppfp.ucop.edu/info/
Application instructions are here: https://ppfp.ucop.edu/info/how-to-apply/application-instructions.html

UCSC also sponsors the UC Santa Cruz Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowships, for which applicants apply through the PPFP site, linked above.

Please note:

"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, professional development and faculty mentoring to outstanding scholars in all fields whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity at UC."

"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. Approximately 75% of UC President's Postdoctoral Fellows have received tenure track faculty appointments. Since 2003, over 100 former fellows received faculty appointments at University of California campuses."

"Applicants must hold or receive a Ph.D. or terminal degree in their discipline (JD, MD, MFA, DVM, EdD, etc.) from an accredited university.

Successful applicants must present documents demonstrating that they are legally authorized to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship and work authorization is possible for successful applicants through a process which would be managed by the International Students and Scholars Office with the support of the UC faculty mentor on their home campus. Individuals granted deferred action status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program are encouraged to apply.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexuality, gender identity, national origin, ethnicity, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law."

Best wishes, Andy Fisher
