<font size="+1">The Provost’s Diversity in Engineering Fellows
(PDEF) program, a new initiative created in collaboration with the
University of California Office of the President, aims to support
emerging scholars as they transition into the professoriate. We
invite <br>
applications for up to three tenure-track faculty positions
beginning the 2017/2018 academic year. Full consideration will be
<br>
given to applications received beginning as early as January 6,
2017. <br>
<br>
Through the program, successful candidates will receive a
tenure-track faculty position and funding for up to a year of
research fellowship prior to joining the faculty at UCR. The
tenure clock will be delayed during the research fellowship so
that upon the candidate's arrival, he/she will still have the full
seven years to attain tenure. <br>
<br>
In addition, PDEF supports professional development and research,
covering travel to conferences and resources that enable the
candidate to use research facilities at UCR or elsewhere.
Candidates also receive training resources including guidance in
teaching skills, research ethics, grant writing, and time
management. </font><br>
