NCID Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

The National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) at the University of Michigan is pleased to announce a new Institutional Diversity Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. This university-wide, interdisciplinary initiative seeks to advance the Center?s national commitment to institutional diversity as well as its strategic agenda to bridge exemplary scholarship with multilevel engagement and innovation. This fellowship program is also designed to help recruit outstanding faculty with strong commitments to diversity within a range of U-M academic units. A successful candidate will be attractive as both an NCID fellow and a tenure-track or research faculty member. For example, successful candidates could have the opportunity for a full-time fellowship at NCID before starting a tenure-track position within a UM academic unit. Applications will be evaluated by representatives from both NCID and a relevant U-M academic unit, including a potential faculty mentor.

Awards may be renewable for a second year based on progress. Applications are especially welcome from scholars with interests that reflect the NCID strategic agenda, including: (a) innovative scholarship, research, or creative work on some aspect of diversity in the broadest sense; (b) bridging interdisciplinary scholarship with innovation to address challenges and opportunities of diversity; and (c) building partnerships among scholars and policy relevant leaders engaged in social change activities at campus/institutional, local/state, or national/global levels. We especially invite applications from outstanding candidates whose interests indiversity issues cross interdisciplinary boundaries in eight core NCID priority areas:
-Basic Scholarship & Multilevel Engagement Education & Institutional Transformation
-Expressive Culture, the Arts & Media Health Disparities & Human Development
-Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics Organizations & Sustainable Development
-Urban Revitalization & Community Development Politics, Public Policy & Social Justice
