ALL ACADEMICS AT UC SAN DIEGO

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.
