As part of an effort to promote a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences among its faculty as set forth in the University of Chicago Diversity Statement,
the University of Chicago invites nominations and applications for the
Provost’s Career Enhancement Postdoctoral Scholarship (PCEPS).
This year the Office of the Provost will award two 2-year
postdoctoral scholarships to promising junior scholars in all fields.
Candidates must have completed all requirements for their doctoral
degree (Ph.D., M.D., J.D., or foreign equivalent) before the scholarship
start date, and must be no more than three years beyond receiving that
degree. Individuals currently holding a postdoctoral or faculty position
at the University of Chicago are not eligible.
Successful candidates will be selected on the basis of academic
achievement, scholarly promise, potential to add to the diversity of the
University community, and the likelihood that the individual may become
a qualified and competitive candidate for a faculty position at the
University of Chicago upon the completion of the Scholarship. Each
cohort of PCEPS holders will include at least one scholar whose research
furthers the mission of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture.
In addition to pursuing their research, Scholars will teach one
quarter-long course in their field for each year in which they hold a
postdoctoral scholarship.
Application Information:
Individuals may become candidates by completing an application on this site. Any member of the University of Chicago faculty may nominate
a candidate who then must apply to the program.
Although a University
of Chicago nomination will be considered one of the three required
recommendations for that applicant, a nomination or recommendation by a
member of the University of Chicago faculty is not required. Faculty
members at other institutions should encourage promising candidates to
apply directly using this site, and may provide a recommendation on behalf of the candidate.
Applications and nominations will be accepted September 1, 2012 through November 1, 2012.
