The Provost�Euro(tm)s Academic Diversity Postdoctoral Program seeks to
increase the number of scholars underrepresented in American higher
education by providing a two-year research, teaching, and mentoring
experience. The program is directed to promising scholars from ethnic
and racial groups that have been historically underrepresented in
higher education and who will contribute to academic diversity and
excellence at Cornell University. Fellows will devote their time to
research and will teach one course a year.

There will be two awards each year for a two-year term appointment of
eleven months each year. We welcome applications from all
disciplines, with the stipend dependent on the discipline and
experience. Stipends will include health insurance and $2,000 for
relocation/research expenses. Applicants must have completed all
requirements for the doctoral degree at the time of application and
should have received the degree within the past five years.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Applicants must submit a brief application letter (including e-mail
address) in which the applicant clearly identifies the area or
discipline of proposed research, a curriculum vitae, statement of
proposed research not to exceed five pages, and three letters of
recommendation. Recommendations should be sent under separate cover by
referees, one of whom must be the dissertation advisor. The
application deadline is February 15, 2002. Kindly send application
materials to:
