The Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
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 and other
research universities.  Postdoctoral scholars will participate
essentially full-time in research and may teach only one course per
year.  Applications for study in any discipline represented at the
University are welcome.  The Department of Biology at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill strongly encourages candidates  
interested
in evolutionary biology to apply.  Potential faculty sponsors for  
interested
candidates can be identified at http://www.bio.unc.edu/graduate/EEOB/ 
evolution.html
The stipend will be $35,625 per calendar year.  Health benefits are
available.  Some funds are available for research expenses, including
travel.  Minority students who will have completed their doctoral degree
no later than July 1, 2007, and no earlier than
July 1, 2003 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 and places emphasis on underrepresented minorities.
A complete application will include curriculum vitae, sample
publications and/or dissertation chapters, three letters of
recommendation, an application, a statement of research plans and a
separate statement of why you should be selected for the program.
Applications can be found at http://research.unc.edu/red/postdoc.html.
If recommendation letters accompany application materials they should be
in a sealed envelope.
All materials should be sent to the Carolina Postdoctoral Program for
Faculty Diversity, Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and
