Rutgers University sponsors an annual cohort of Presidential Postdoctoral
Fellows. Appointment is for a two-year term that typically begins on July
1, 2023 (rolling start dates are possible) with the possibility of
subsequent appointment to a tenure-track faculty position at one of the
four Rutgers University campuses: Rutgers-New Brunswick, Rutgers Biomedical
and Health Sciences, Rutgers-Newark, and Rutgers-Camden. Applicants may
request to be affiliated with a particular campus across the Rutgers
corridor, although all placements will be made in consultation with
departmental and campus leadership.


Fellows will receive a $65,000 annual salary, $10,000 in discretionary
research funds per year, a dedicated workspace, access to a computer,
health benefits, and a dedicated mentor. Fellows will typically teach one
class or the equivalent in mentoring or other pedagogical engagement during
the academic year. Fellows are expected to participate in a series of
meetings and workshops structured for the purposes of networking, social
interaction, and supporting professional development, as offered by the Office
of Postdoctoral Advancement
<https://academicaffairs.rutgers.edu/office-postdoctoral-advancement> and
other units and programs as detailed under the Presidential Postdoctoral
Fellows (PPF) Activities section below.

All Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows will be appointed in one
of four priority areas of strength at Rutgers:

·  Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows in *Race, Racism, and Inequality *will
conduct research into the structural, systemic, institutional, and
individual effects of racism and discrimination, both historically and
today, in all domains of the humanities, social sciences, and professional
schools, including but not limited to area studies, business, criminal
justice and the carceral state, families, education, environmental and
climate justice, labor, law, media, public policy, urban planning, or other
related fields.

·  Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows in *Health Equity *will conduct basic,
clinical, translational, community-engaged, and population-based research
in the biomedical sciences, social sciences, behavioral, psychological
sciences and related fields that addresses health inequalities, including
but not limited to research on pathogenesis, chronic disease, mental
health, disease prevention and treatment, access to healthcare, and public
health.

·  Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows for *Advancing STEM Diversity* will
conduct leading work in any area of the physical and biological sciences,
earth sciences, computer sciences, engineering, mathematics, or in areas of
convergence among multiple fields that define an emergent domain of
research (e.g., AI and the data sciences, computational biology,
interdisciplinary climate science, etc.).

·  Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows for *Engaged Climate Action* will
conduct use-inspired, publicly-engaged and/or community-engaged research in
the natural sciences, social sciences, policy, engineering, humanities, or
other disciplines that addresses the causes and consequences of climate
change, their inequities, and policies, technologies and behaviors to limit
those consequences and inequities.


*Applications for the 2023-24 cohort will open on September 9, 2022 and
close on October 31, 2022.* All candidates must apply through the portal,
and only complete applications received by the closing date will be
considered. Candidates will be asked to choose and rank their priority area
during the application process and to indicate up to three campus
placements and possible mentors. All qualifying applications will be
reviewed by Rutgers deans, chairs, and relevant faculty; finalists will be
forwarded to the Office of the EVPAA for approval.
