[Grad-postdoc-assn] Teaching at a Minority Serving Institution

[Paula Fisher]

Dear Postdocs,

Would you like to get some teaching experience? ASP is prepared to 
support postdocs interested in going to one of NCAR's Historically Black
College or University (HBCU) partners or to any U.S. Minority Serving 
Institution (MSI)  to teach and conduct research through the NCAR 
Diversity Fund.
Support includes salary, additional living expenses, and travel costs. 
This could be for a semester, or for a short course. There are  four 
HBCU partner institutions which have a written agreement with NCAR to 
facilitate collaborations.  Those four include:
- Howard University (Washington DC)
- Jackson State University (Jackson, Mississippi)
- Hampton University (Hampton, Virginia)
- North Carolina Agricultural & Technical University (Greensboro, North
Carolina)

However, we can solicit funds to support you at any Minority Serving 
Institution.  If you are an ASP postdoc, we'll "stop the clock" on your 
fellowship while you teach and add that time to the end of your term. 
If you are not an ASP postdoc, we'll have to negotiate the terms with 
your current supervisor.

Two ASP postdocs have done this and one, Sean Moore, is going to the 
University of New Mexico this month to teach.

This opportunity is open to ASP and non-ASP postdocs alike. If you are 
interested in pursuing this, and even if it would not be until fall 
2013, please let me know as soon as possible.  We'll need to work 
together to submit a proposal to the Diversity Committee no later than 
the end of August.  Please let me or Chris know by the end of next week 
if you are interested.


Thanks!
Paula
