Description:

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 (CPPFD) is pleased to offer
postdoctoral research appointments for a period of two years. The purpose of
CPPFD is to develop scholars from underrepresented groups for possible tenure
track appointments at the University of North Carolina and other research
universities. Postdoctoral scholars will be engaged full-time in research and
may teach only one course per fiscal year. This program is funded by the State
of North Carolina.

The CPPFD is a nationally recognized and extremely competitive program. We
typically receive more than 750 applications per year and typically fund 4-5
new postdoctoral researchers per year across the university.

Applications for study in any discipline represented on the campus are
welcome. Please specify your discipline of interest when applying.

The Department of Linguistics is specifically interested in scholars whose
work is in any of the following areas:
- Computational Linguistics
- Language Acquisition
- Syntax/Semantics
- Sociolinguistics
- Hispanic Linguistics
- Contact Linguistics

Stipend:
- $50,000 per calendar year (STEM disciplines-based on qualifications)
- $2,000 per year research fund for research expenses, including travel.

Eligibility:
- Applicants must have completed their doctoral degree or terminal degree in
their field within the past five years and no later than July 1st of the award
year.
- 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
(see above).
- 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 individuals that have experience, background
and/or scholarship that will contribute to the diversity of the campus
community.

Application materials:
- Cover letter addressed to Vice Chancellor for Research
- Curriculum vitae
- A statement of research plans (1-3 pages)
- A contribution to diversity statement on why you should be selected for this
program (1–3 pages)
- Writing samples (e.g., publications and/or dissertation chapters)
- Two references for letters of recommendation
- All materials must be submitted through online application system to be
