----- Original Message ----- From: "Shih-Pau Yen" <yen@umn.edu> To: <UMN-FAC@LISTS.UMN.EDU> Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 1:14 PM Subject: FW: UMN postdoctoral fellowship
The Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost and The Graduate School are pleased to announce the establishment of the University of Minnesota Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Funded through the McKnight Foundation the fellowship program is intended to recruit promising scholars with strong potential to pursue future faculty positions at the University of Minnesota and at other top research institutions. We are particularly interested in attracting scholars who received their terminal degrees or postdoctoral training from institutions OTHER THAN the University of Minnesota. The program is a university-wide, multidisciplinary initiative to advance the University¹s intellectual agenda and to enhance the cultural diversity of the University community. We welcome applications from individuals with research and scholarly interests that reflect one or more of the following priorities: (1) scholarship that contributes to the understanding of diversity in its multiple forms; (2) strong interest in interdisciplinary research and scholarship or creative work; and (3) engagement in partnerships with communities outside of the academy.
The fellowship recruitment process will begin this fall with an application deadline of December 1, 2006. Candidates can be nominated by University faculty, or faculty from other academic institutions who have close knowledge of promising scholars intending to pursue a faculty career at a research university. Direct applications to the program are also accepted. We invite University faculty to participate in the nomination process and encourage you to consider outstanding candidates from other institutions whose research or scholarly work fits with one or all of the above mentioned priorities. Nomination letters should address the candidate¹s scholarly and professional achievements that demonstrate strong potential for success in future faculty positions. Letters of nomination should include the candidate¹s curriculum vitae with contact information. Nominations will be accepted through NOVEMBER 1, 2006. Letters and curriculum vitae should be submitted as Word or PDF files to postdoc@umn.edu.
For the 2007-2008 academic year, we anticipate on awarding up to three fellowships for a minimum duration of one year beginning in September 2007. Awards may be renewable for a second year based on progress. Please view the full fellowship description at http://www.grad.umn.edu/postdocfellowship.
Questions regarding the fellowship should be submitted via e-mail at postdoc@umn.edu. You may also contact Dr. Noro Andriamanalina at 626-4546.
We look forward to receiving your nominations.
