ActivitiesActivities funded: ResearchTeaching DescriptionThe Consortium is committed to increasing the diversity of students, faculty members and curricular offerings at liberal arts colleges with a particular focus on enhancing the diversity of faculty members and of applicants for faculty positions. The early goals of the Consortium included encouraging U.S. citizens who are members of under-represented minority groups to complete their graduate programs and to consider faculty employment in liberal arts colleges. The postdoctoral fellowship is for scholars who have been awarded the Ph.D. or M.F.A. no later than the beginning of the fellowship year and no earlier than five years before the beginning of the fellowship year. Postdoctoral fellows will receive compensation commensurate with the compensation of a full-time, one-year faculty member with comparable qualifications. Modest funds will be provided to finance proposed research, mentoring of teaching, and scholarship. Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to teach the equivalent of one semester-long course during each semester of residency, participate in departmental seminars, and interact regularly with students.
