The Carolina Postdoctoral Program
For Faculty Diversity
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

As part of a continuing commitment to advance scholars from underrepresented groups in higher education, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity is pleased to announce the availability of postdoctoral research appointments for a period of two years. The purpose of the Program is to develop scholars from underrepresented groups for possible tenure track appointments at the University of North Carolina and other research universities. Postdoctoral scholars will participate essentially full-time in research and may teach only one course per year.

Fields: Applications for study in any discipline represented on the campus are welcome. Please specify your discipline of interest.

Stipend: $35,625 per calendar year. Health benefits are available. Some funds are available for research expenses, including travel.

Eligibility: Applicants who will have completed the doctoral degree not later than July 1, 2006 and no earlier than July 1, 2000 are eligible to apply. Preference will be given to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. This program is funded by the State of North Carolina and places special emphasis on underrepresented minorities. The primary criterion for selection is evidence of scholarship potentially competitive for tenure track appointments at the University of North Carolina and other research universities.

Application materials: A complete application will include a curriculum vitae, sample publications and/or dissertation chapters, three letters of recommendation, an application, a statement of research plans and a separate statement on why you should be selected for this program. The statements should be separate documents and not included in a cover letter. The application can be found at the web page listed below.

Submitted material will not be returned to the applicant. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
