Description:

The Provost's Academic Diversity Postdoctoral Program seeks to
increase the number of scholars who will contribute to academic
diversity and excellence at Cornell University and in American higher
education by providing a two-year research, teaching, and mentoring
experience. Promising scholars who have been historically
underrepresented in higher education (including but not limited to
African American, American Indian, and Hispanic/Latino) are encouraged
to apply. Fellows will devote their time to research and will teach
one course a year.

There will be three awards each 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 complete all
requirements for the doctoral degree by August, 2004 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 by referees under
separate cover, one whom must be the dissertation advisor.
