PRESIDENT’S POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
2016–2017 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

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
non-traditional educational background or understanding of the experiences
of members of groups historically underrepresented in higher education in
the United States.


AWARDS AND APPOINTMENTS. Fellowships are awarded for research conducted at
any one of the University of California’s ten campuses. The award includes a
salary starting at $44,500 depending on field and experience, benefits
including health insurance and paid vacation/sick leave, and up to $5,000
for research-related and program travel expenses. Each award is for a
minimum of 12-months and may be renewable for an additional term upon
demonstration of academic/research productivity.

ELIGIBILITY. Applicants must receive a Ph.D. from an accredited university
before the start of their fellowship. Successful applicants must present
documents demonstrating that they are legally authorized to work in the
United States without restrictions or limitations. Individuals granted
deferred action status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

Dear Students:

The Office of Student Life is currently looking to employ student workers (not through work study funds) at minimum wage to proctor exams for ADA student who receive extended time on their exams and are interested in taking it in our facilities. Students will fill out weekly time sheets and turn them in to our Accounting Department and will be paid out of a central budget. During this time students are expected to make minimal noise as many students qualify for a reduced distraction testing location, use of a computer for essay exams or parts of their exams to be read allowed to them. You would be trained in all of the above. We expect students who apply to have the fullest grasp of academic integrity and the clearest sense of academic violations, which we find meets our Veteran Student population. If you are interested and meet the minimum GPA requirement of 2.75 please call (973)353-5300 or respond to Melissa Gazal to set up your appointment for an interview.

Dear Colleagues: Greetings! The first MTSE Seminar for
