*The Presidential Post-Doctoral Fellowship Process at UMSI, 2018-2019*

The U-M Presidential Post-doctoral Fellowship Program was established in
2011. The rationale behind the program is that “the University seeks
applicants whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to
diversity and equal opportunity in higher education. The program is
particularly interested in scholars with the potential to bring to their
research and undergraduate teaching the critical perspective that comes
from their non-traditional educational background or understanding of the
experiences of groups historically underrepresented in higher education”
(see http://presidentspostdoc.umich.edu/about.php).

This year, UMSI is once again coordinating a parallel process to the U-M
Presidential Post-doctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP). Post-doctoral fellows
selected through both the U-M and UMSI processes will be offered a
Presidential Post-doctoral Fellowship with a path to transition to the UMSI
faculty at the conclusion of the fellowship. Thus, we will again conduct
formal candidate visits with job talks for PPFP candidates in the fall
followed by a faculty vote on the candidates.

An outline of the UMSI PPFP process and timeline follows.  The important
action item for faculty is to begin to talk to colleagues about the
program, generate the names of potential candidates, and encourage those
candidates to apply.  A full position description is being reviewed and
will be posted on Interfolio and the U-M website by September 1.
