The University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program was established in 1984 to encourage outstanding women and minority Ph.D. recipients to pursue academic careers at the University of California. The current program offers postdoctoral research fellowships and faculty mentoring to outstanding scholars in all fields whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to the diversity and equal opportunity at UC.
Fellowships are awarded for research conducted at any one of the University of California’s ten campuses or the three UC-affiliated National Laboratories—Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
Each award is for a minimum of 12-months and may be renewable for an additional term upon demonstration of academic/research productivity and includes:
- Competitive salary
- Benefits package including health insurance and paid vacation/sick leave
- Up to $5,000 for research-related and program travel expenses.
ELIGIBILITY: U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must hold or receive a Ph.D. from an accredited university before the start of their fellowship.
