Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity
https://research.unc.edu/carolina-postdocs/applicants/

The UNC Department of Geography (https://geography.unc.edu) 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 (cgray at email.unc.edu<mailto:cgray at email.unc.edu>) and/or potential faculty mentors in the department.

Stipend: $47,476 per calendar year, plus $2,000 per year fund for research expenses and travel.

Eligibility: Applicants must have completed their doctoral degree within the past five years and no later than July 1st of the award year. The primary criterion for selection is evidence of scholarship potentially competitive for tenure track appointments at the University of North Carolina and other research universities.
