Diversity postdoctoral fellowships

Preparing Future Faculty Postdoctoral Fellowship Positions
The University of Missouri is committed to the advancement of teachers, scholars, and researchers who can help it achieve the benefits of a diverse educational environment. The Preparing Future Faculty Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity is designed to promote and develop such scholars for tenure-track faculty positions at the University of Missouri and elsewhere, in any discipline. Postdoctoral Fellowships are for two years during which time Postdoctoral Scholars focus on scholarship and participate in an array of professional development activities that integrate and expose them to the faculty experience, including the opportunity to teach in their discipline the second year. The starting stipend will be $55,000 per year including University benefits. Fellows will be provided with travel funds to attend a national meeting, as well as funds to travel to other campuses as necessary for scholarship and program professional development activities.
Applicants who have completed their doctoral degree at an accredited university by July 1, 2017 are eligible to apply. Current postdoctoral fellows also may apply if their doctoral degree was awarded in or after spring 2012. Applicants should demonstrate how they can contribute to faculty diversity, such as through membership in a group that is historically underrepresented or underserved in a particular discipline or through other training or experience. The link for application materials can be found at https://applygrad.missouri.edu/register/Postdoc. For additional information, questions may be directed to postdoc@missouri.edu. The deadline for all application material is midnight, January 16, 2017. Candidates who demonstrate evidence of scholarship potential to be competitive for tenure-track appointments at the University of Missouri or other research universities will be invited to interview.
