<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The UNC Department of Geography (<a href="https://geography.unc.edu">https://geography.unc.edu</a>) recruits applicants in GIScience and physical geography to the Carolina Postdoctoral Program
for Faculty Diversity, a prestigious 2-year postdoc that has the goal of preparing recent PhDs for tenure track appointments at UNC. Our department has previously used this mechanism multiple times to make tenure-track hires, and we hope to recruit another
such scholar this year. The target applicants are US-born scholars from groups that are underrepresented in the academy, who are working in any subfield of physical geography or GIScience. This is a full-time research appointment with no service obligations
and the option of teaching a maximum of one course per year. Applicants who plan to rank Geography as their first choice placement at UNC should contact Geography Diversity Liaison Clark Gray (<a href="mailto:cgray@email.unc.edu">cgray@email.unc.edu</a>) and/or
potential faculty mentors in the department.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
