President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program




Call for Applications, 2007-2008

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 President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
offers postdoctoral research fellowships and faculty mentoring to qualified
scholars committed to university careers in research, teaching, and service
that will enhance the diversity of the academic community at the University
of California.  For fellowships in the Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and
Professions, the program prefers candidates whose research emphasizes issues
such as diversity, multi-culturalism and communities underserved by
traditional academic research.  For fellowships in Mathematics, Engineering,
Life Science and Physical Science, the program prefers candidates with a
demonstrated record of mentoring or outreach activities that promote access
and opportunity in higher education.

 

AWARDS AND APPOINTMENTS   Fellowships are awarded for research conducted
under faculty sponsorship on any one of the University of California's ten
campuses.  The University awards 15-20 postdoctoral fellowships every year.
The annual award is for $40-50,000, depending on the field and level of
experience.  The award includes stipend, health, vision and dental benefits,
and up to $4,000 for research-related expenses.  Each award is for a
12-month period, renewable for one year upon demonstration of academic
productivity and participation in program events.

 

ELIGIBILITY   Fellowships are awarded through competitions open to citizens
and permanent residents of the United States.  Applications from qualified
persons are accepted and reviewed without regard to race, gender, or
ethnicity.  Only those who anticipate completion of their Ph.D. degrees by
July 1, 2007 should apply.
