Dear Graduate School community,
I am happy to announce a new postdoctoral fellowship opportunity for Vanderbilt doctoral students as part of an exciting partnership with Fisk University, a private historically black university located in Nashville.
The Vanderbilt-Fisk Postdoctoral Fellowship has been designed to offer opportunities for Vanderbilt PhDs to build their teaching and scholarship portfolios, while simultaneously offering fellows the opportunity to receive dedicated mentoring from faculty at both institutions. Two fellowships will be available for the 2023-2024 academic year.
Each fellowship will be for a period of 24 months. These fellowships allow opportunities for teaching, allow time for publishing from the dissertation, and for the preparation of other research and/or creative expression. Fisk University will consider each fellow for a tenure-track position faculty position at the end of the training period.
Fellowships will be open to all disciplines, but those with backgrounds in Biology, Mathematics, or History are strongly encouraged to apply.
Fellows will be appointed through the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at Vanderbilt. The salary for each Fellow will be $65,000. Fellows will receive the comprehensive benefits package offered to Vanderbilt University employees, including but not limited to health, dental, and vision insurance, a 403(b)-retirement plan, short-and-long-term disability coverage, and life insurance.
The deadline to apply for 2023-2024 fellowships is April 30, 2023. The selected 2023-2024 Fellows will be announced on June 1, 2023.
