Postdoctoral Researcher (EXPIRED)

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

As part of a continuing commitment to building a culturally diverse intellectual community and advancing 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 (perhaps to include one in the Department of Philosophy) 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 be engaged full-time in research and may teach only one course per fiscal year. Applications for study in any discipline represented at the University are welcome. The Department of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill strongly encourages candidates to apply.

The stipend is $42,000 per calendar year. Funds are available for research expenses,including travel. Interested applicants who will have completed their doctoral degree no later than July 1, 2015 and no earlier than July 1, 2011 are eligible to apply. 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. An important secondary criterion is the support of prospective departments.  Preference will be given to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill strongly encourages applications from African American, Native American and Hispanic scholars. Interested applicants should apply online at http://research.unc.edu/red/postdoc.html.

Directions for the electronic submission are provided at the application site. For additional information, please visit the program website at http://research.unc.edu/carolina-postdocs/index.htm. Questions may be directed to Program Manager Jennifer Pruitt in the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, at [email protected].
