| SUBJECT: | 2020 - 2021 Call for Applications - UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program |
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 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. The contributions to
diversity may include public service towards increasing equitable access
in fields where women and minorities are underrepresented. In some
fields, the contributions may include 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 and research careers the critical perspective
that comes from their educational background or understanding of the
experiences of members of groups historically underrepresented in higher
education in the United States.
