Rutgers University Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows Program
https://academicaffairs.rutgers.edu/postdoctoral-fellows

Rutgers University sponsors an annual cohort of Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows. Appointment is for a two-year term that typically begins on July 1, 2023 (rolling start dates are possible) with the possibility of subsequent appointment to a tenure-track faculty position at one of the four Rutgers University campuses: Rutgers-New Brunswick, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, Rutgers-Newark, and Rutgers-Camden. Applicants may request to be affiliated with a particular campus across the Rutgers corridor, although all placements will be made in consultation with departmental and campus leadership.

Fellows will receive a $65,000 annual salary, $10,000 in discretionary research funds per year, a dedicated workspace, access to a computer, health benefits, and a dedicated mentor. Fellows will typically teach one class or the equivalent in mentoring or other pedagogical engagement during the academic year. Fellows are expected to participate in a series of meetings and workshops structured for the purposes of networking, social interaction, and supporting professional development, as offered by the Office of Postdoctoral Advancement<https://academicaffairs.rutgers.edu/office-postdoctoral-advancement> and other units and programs as detailed under the Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows (PPF) Activities section below.

All Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows will be appointed in one of four priority areas of strength at Rutgers:

  *   Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows in Race, Racism, and Inequality will conduct research into the structural, systemic, institutional, and individual effects of racism and discrimination, both historically and today, in all domains of the humanities, social sciences, and professional schools, including but not limited to area studies, business, criminal justice and the carceral state, families, education, environmental and climate justice, labor, law, media, public policy, urban planning, or other related fields.
  *   Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows in Health Equity will conduct basic, clinical, translational, community-engaged, and population-based research in the biomedical sciences, social sciences, behavioral, psychological sciences and related fields that addresses health inequalities, including but not limited to research on pathogenesis, chronic disease, mental health, disease prevention and treatment, access to healthcare, and public health.
  *   Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows for Advancing STEM Diversity will conduct leading work in any area of the physical and biological sciences, earth sciences, computer sciences, engineering, mathematics, or in areas of convergence among multiple fields that define an emergent domain of research (e.g., AI and the data sciences, computational biology, interdisciplinary climate science, etc.).
  *   Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows for Engaged Climate Action will conduct use-inspired, publicly-engaged and/or community-engaged research in the natural sciences, social sciences, policy, engineering, humanities, or other disciplines that addresses the causes and consequences of climate change, their inequities, and policies, technologies and behaviors to limit those consequences and inequities.

Applications for the 2023-24 cohort will open on September 9, 2022 and close on October 31, 2022. All candidates must apply through the portal, and only complete applications received by the closing date will be considered. Candidates will be asked to choose and rank their priority area during the application process and to indicate up to three campus placements and possible mentors. All qualifying applications will be reviewed by Rutgers deans, chairs, and relevant faculty; finalists will be forwarded to the Office of the EVPAA for approval.
