CHAPEL HILL POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM

Chapel Hill Postdoctoral Program 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. Postdoctoral scholars will be primarily research associates engaged full-time in research and may teach up to one course per year. Applications for study in any discipline represented at the University are welcome. The Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (www.sph.unc.edu/envr/)strongly encourages candidates interested in any discipline represented in the Department (engineering, physical sciences, and life sciences)to apply. For purposes of this program, women with an undergraduate degree in engineering are considered to be an underrepresented group. The stipend will be $45,000 per calendar year. Health benefits and leave are available. Some funds are available for research expenses, including travel. Interested applicants who will have completed their doctoral degree no later than July 1, 2008 and no earlier than July 1, 2004 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. The application and further information are available at research.unc.edu/red/postdoc.html. Questions about the program should be directed to Rhonda Craig-Schwarz (rhonda@unc.edu; 919-962-1319).
