NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for Academic Diversity
The Program
New York University
(NYU) is dedicated to ensuring that its scholarly community is ready to
compete in a global world and is enriched by individuals, who, through their
different races and ethnicities, gender identities, age, abilities,
political beliefs, economic status, and sexual orientation, contribute to an
intellectually challenging and inclusive educational environment. To that
end, NYU has created the NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for
Academic Diversity fellowship program to support promising scholars and
educators from different backgrounds, races, ethnic groups, and other
diverse groups whose life experience, research experience, and employment
background will contribute significantly to academic excellence at NYU.
Eligibility
The fellowship program
is open to all areas of study at the University. U.S. citizens or permanent
residents who are from the following three categories may apply:
- Graduate students
in the final year of their dissertation
- Postdoctoral
students who have completed their dissertation within the last three
years
- Professionals
transitioning to academic careers (for those in fields for which the
doctorate is not the terminal degree)
Awards
NYU will award up to
five in-residence fellowships in 2010. The two-year appointments, which
begin September 2010 and end August 2012, have a possibility of a third-year
extension. Graduate students in the final year of their dissertation must
make significant progress toward the dissertation. Fellows teach a maximum
of one course per semester.
Stipends and Allowances
Fellows receive an
annual stipend of $40,000 as well as allowances for housing ($20,000),
research ($2,000), and one-time relocation ($3,000). The University also
provides a medical and dental benefits package.
