Postdoctoral Fellows Program (2014-2018)

We have discontinued the Postdoctoral Fellowships Program, which was in effect from 2014 to 2018.
 

The C3 Postdoctoral Fellowship program accepted applications for two-year fellowship terms that began in 2014, 2015, and 2016.

The C3 Postdoctoral Fellowship accepted applications from U.S. citizens or permanent residents who were Ph.D. candidates or recent graduates at the University of California, Berkeley; Columbia University; the University of Chicago; or the University of Michigan; in one of the participating fields (see the approved fields of study on the Resources page).

C3 especially encouraged applicants who are from groups that are historically underrepresented in the academy. We define “underrepresented” as those who are either historically underrepresented (such as African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders), are first generation college students, or have followed nontraditional pathways to college due to exceptional talent and motivation in the face of adversity, such as societal, economic or academic disadvantages.

The C3 Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded to applicants with a demonstrated understanding of the challenges facing underrepresented groups in higher education careers, as evidenced by at least one of the following:

  • life experiences and educational background
  • demonstrated interest and experience in translating the creative critical discourse that comes from a non-traditional educational background into research
  • a research track record that shows interest in subjects and practices that will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education
  • a demonstrated understanding of the experiences of groups underrepresented in higher education.

Applicants must have completed all but dissertation at the time of application to the fellowship. Applicants were expected to have completed their degree before their fellowship term began.
