SUBJECT:    CALL FOR APPLICATIONS, UC PRESIDENT’S POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM 2019–2020

The University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is calling for applications for the 2019-2020 academic year. The program was established in 1984 to encourage outstanding women and minority Ph.D. recipients to pursue academic careers at the University of California. Currently, it 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.

The fellows are excellent scholars who are interested in pursuing a faculty career at the University of California and represent the top applicants in all academic areas. Since 2003, 175 former fellows have been hired at a UC campus through the program’s hiring incentive, which provides five years of partial salary and benefits support to campuses that hire former President’s and Chancellor’s Fellows. Of those hired, approximately 98 percent have achieved tenure when eligible, and approximately 90 percent are still at the University of California.

AWARDS AND APPOINTMENTS: Fellowships are awarded for research at any one of the ten UC campuses. The award includes a salary starting at $49,200 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. 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.

APPLICATION: Apply online at:http://ppfp.ucop.edu/

DEADLINE: November 1, 2018
