Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program For Academic Diversity The Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program offers postdoctoral research fellowships to members of groups underrepresented on faculties of U.S. universities who show promise for tenure-track appointments on the CU-Boulder campus Purpose The fellowships provide Fellowship Program For Academic Diversity scholars with postdoctoral research opportunities in all disciplines represented at CU-Boulder, plus mentoring and guidance in preparation for an academic career. Fellows devote full time to the research activities of a sponsoring faculty member or engage in independent research projects within a department or program. The fellowship program is intended to increase the diversity of CU Boulder faculty and the national academic community. We are also interested in applications from faculty whose scholarly work is in the area of diversity. Awards Fellows are selected on the basis of their proposed research, their scholarly achievements and promise, and University need. Applicants are required to discuss their proposed plan of study or research with the academic units or research institutes/centers of interest. Academic units, research institutes or centers must nominate candidates for final selection. Diversity selection criteria may include such factors as socioeconomic background, history of overcoming disadvantage, first-generation university graduate background, race and ethnicity. Application Process Applicants should submit three unbound copies of the following: cover letter describing proposed research, career plans, qualifications, and diversity information; curriculum vitae; certified graduate transcript; detailed statement of proposed research (five pages maximum); sample publications and dissertation chapters. In addition, applicants should have three letters of recommendation sent. One of these letters must be from the dissertation advisor. Additional Information Please direct inquiries regarding the program to: The University of Colorado has a strong institutional commitment to the principle of diversity. In that spirit, the University is interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people, including women, members of ethnic minorities, veterans, veterans of the Vietnam era, qualified disabled veterans and other disabled individuals. Purpose The chief academic officers of the Big 12 believe that our member schools should be more than an athletic conference -- that we should also be connected by academic endeavors. To this end, the CAOs and the chairs of the faculty senates of our respective schools agreed to encourage faculty exchanges within the Big 12 by creating these Faculty Fellowships. Once a year, the University of Colorado awards two Faculty Fellowships of $2,500 each. The purpose is to enable the selected Faculty Fellows to spend two weeks in residence at another Big 12 school to do research or creative work, collaborate on curriculum development or other educational projects, consult with colleagues and students, offer lectures, or engage in other professional activities that would be of academic benefit to the Fellow (and thereby to the home institution) as well as to the host institution. The $2,500 grant is intended to cover the travel and living expenses of the Fellow. (If you have received a BIG 12 grant within the last three years, your proposal will receive the lowest priority for funding.) The University of Colorado has established two annual Faculty Fellowships of $2,500 each. The purpose is to enable the selected Faculty Fellows to spend two weeks in residence at another Big 12 school to do research or creative work, collaborate on curriculum development or other educational projects, consult with colleagues and students, offer lectures, or engage in other professional activities that would be of academic benefit to the Fellow (and thereby to the home institution) as well as to the host institution. The $2,500 grant is intended to cover the travel and living expenses of the Fellow. (If you have received a BIG 12 grant within the last three years, your proposal will receive the lowest priority for funding.) While two weeks is the desired term so that the Fellow can immerse himself or herself in the culture and activities of the host school, durations that are somewhat shorter (but not less than one week) or longer, are also possible depending upon the agreement between the visiting Fellow and the host school. The amount of the grant maybe reduced proportionately for shorter visits, but remains the same for longer visits. The Vice Chancellor's Awards and Grants Advisory Committee will review the applications and recommend the awardees. The main selection criterion will be the merit of the application as it addresses the BIG 12 goals and the academic benefits of the fellowship to the awardee, to the home school, and to the host school. Award funds should be expended within twelve months of the award unless other arrangements are proposed as part of the application. A report on the outcome of the project will be required at the end of the twelve month period. The BIG 12 campuses are:
