>
>I am pleased to announce the availability of postdoctoral research
>positions for the 2014 Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty
>Diversity funding cycle. This program was created in order to serve two
>very important functions at Carolina. The first function is to
>attract postdoctoral fellows from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups
>to Carolina to prepare them for tenure-track faculty positions at the
>University of North Carolina and other research universities. The
>second function is to serve as a means for increasing faculty diversity
>within the University community.
>
>Scholars for the Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity are
>selected each year and are provided support for two years. The current
>stipend is $39,874 with $35,874 funded from the Office of the Vice
>Chancellor for Research and $4,000 from the partnering department.
>
>The next class of the Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity
>will begin July 1, 2014. We seek your assistance in making
>this a successful recruitment. There are several ways in which you can
>help. First of all, you can help by advertising the program within your
>discipline and identifying possible candidates. A sample advertisement
>is available via the following web link
>http://research.unc.edu/
>
>In addition, you can help in the selection process. Once applications
>are received, we will forward them to appropriate schools or departments
>and ask you to evaluate the applicant, identify a recommended candidate,
>and describe plans for incorporating the individual, if selected, into
>the culture of your department (i.e., mentoring strategy and research
>resources).
>
>In addition, we will ask you for information regarding the availability
>of a faculty member in your department that might serve as a mentor to
>the applicant. If selected, a committee will review the applications and
>make a final recommendation in February 2014. Please note the
>application deadline will be Friday, November 15, 2013 with
>recommendations due no later than December 1, 2013.
>
>If you have any questions or need further information, please contact
>Program Manager Judson Fraley in the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at
