U-M recently joined in a collaborative partnership with the University of California to expand postdoctoral fellowship opportunities at the University of Michigan. Through the new President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, the University of Michigan offers postdoctoral research fellowships in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and social, behavioral, and economics (SBE) fields, coupled with faculty mentoring, professional development and academic networking opportunities. Details about the program are available at sitemaker.umich.edu/um-postdocs. Most importantly, we view these postdoctoral fellowships as providing an exceptional opportunity to recruit potential new faculty to the University by offering them a combined postdoc and tenure track faculty appointment.
The University seeks applicants whose research, teaching and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education. Each applicant will need to specify a faculty mentor at the University of Michigan; this faculty mentor must be contacted in advance of application and express a willingness to mentor the applicant if she or he is selected. Faculty are encouraged to identify emerging scholars they would be interested in sponsoring for this fellowship program and as potential faculty colleagues, and directly inform them about this opportunity. It is also possible to plan for a potential candidate to do a postdoc in one academic department, but to take up a tenure-track position in another; in that case, both departments should be identified in the application process. Please note that the President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program will provide funds for salary, benefits and research. Up to nine post-doctoral positions will be available annually; particularly outstanding candidates may be considered simultaneously (or subsequently) for tenure-track faculty appointments.
Applications will be submitted in conjunction with the University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The online application is available at: sitemaker.umich.edu/um-postdocs after September 1, 2011. All application materials must be received by November 1, 2011.
