 The Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

As part of a continuing commitment to building a culturally diverse intellectual community and advancing scholars from underrepresented groups in higher education, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity is pleased to announce the availability of postdoctoral research appointments for a period of two years. The purpose of the Program is to develop scholars from underrepresented groups for possible tenure track appointments at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and other research universities. Postdoctoral scholars will be engaged full-time in research and may teach only one course per fiscal year. Applications for study in any discipline represented at the University are welcome. The Department of Art and Art History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill strongly encourages candidates interested in any of the following fields to apply:the history of art or architecture of the Mediterranean Sea (i.e. Turkey to Spain) within the chronological parameters of 450 BCE to 800 CE; the history of modern/contemporary arts of the Islamic lands; the history of East Asian art; and a secondary expertise in digital humanities. 

The stipend is $50,000 per calendar year. Funds are available for research expenses, including travel. Interested applicants who will have completed their doctoral degree no later than July 1, 2021 and no earlier than July 1, 2016 are eligible to apply. The primary criterion for selection is evidence of scholarship potentially competitive for tenure track appointments at the University of North Carolina and other research universities. An important secondary criterion is the support of prospective departments. Preference will be given to individuals who are lawfully eligible to work in the United States. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill strongly encourages applications from African American, Native American and Hispanic American scholars. Interested applicants should apply online at https://research.unc.edu/carolina-postdocs/applicants/.
