UC Davis Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Academic Diversity
Deadline: Applications must be submitted online by NOVEMBER 1, 2015, by 11:59 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time)
The UC Davis Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship 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. These contributions may include public service addressing the needs of our increasingly diverse society, efforts to advance equitable access to higher education, or 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 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.
Selection: These Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellows are selected from the pool of applicants who identify mentors at UC Davis and submit their applications to the University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship applications are reviewed by a committee appointed by the Chancellor.
Criteria: Qualified scholars who will contribute to diversity in higher education through their teaching, research or service and who will have a doctorate awarded by the start of the appointment on 7/1/2016. Awards will be made to applicants who show promise for tenure-track appointments on the Davis campus. The fellowship will be for up to two academic years in residence at the Davis campus.
Salary: The annual award provides a starting salary of $42,840 - $50,112 depending on experience. The award also includes health insurance, vision and dental benefits, 24 days paid time off and up to $5,000 for research related and program travel expenses. Each award is for a 12-month period, renewable for a second year upon demonstration of academic productivity and participation in program events.
Eligibility: Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at the time of application and must hold or receive a Ph.D. by the start of their fellowship. Individuals granted deferred action status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program are encouraged to apply. University of California Ph.D. recipients should not apply to work with faculty of the department from which they received their Ph.D.
Application: All applicants for the UC Davis Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program should submit their application to the University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at:
http://www.ucop.edu/acadpersonnel/ppfp/how-to-apply.html. The mentor’s letter should address the department’s future hiring plans and the applicant’s potential for appointment at UC Davis. Applications must be completed online by November 1, 2015, 11:59 PM, PST. (NOTE: faculty letters are due December 1, 2015.)
