Postdoctoral Diversity and Innovation Scholars
opens a pathway to the professoriate for highly talented, underrepresented postdoctoral scholars.
Through a nationally competitive application and review process, the university seeks to bring excellent scholars to UNH who have a passion for teaching, research, and public engagement at a research (R1) university.
This new program is informed by the success of established programs to increase faculty excellence and diversity (i.e., UNC-Chapel Hill, Howard University, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, and Virginia Commonwealth University).
Built on the existing professional development model for UNH junior faculty, the program's priority is the preparation of scholars toward an opportunity to apply for a tenure track position. This high-profile initiative is designed to increase the diversity of UNH faculty and academic excellence. Applications open October first.
