About the Program
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) launched the Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in 2023. The program is designed to attract teacher-scholars who will enhance the breadth, depth and quality of our academic programs, support the retention and graduation of SIUE’s diverse student population, advance inclusive excellence and prepare students to be change makers in their communities, workplaces, and all arenas of civic life.
Postdoctoral Fellows will be appointed for a period of two years. Fellows will teach three (3) courses or an equivalent each year aligned with their field of study and also have dedicated time for research and creative activities. To support belonging and facilitate connectedness with the broader SIUE community, the postdoctoral experience also includes structured mentorship, relationship building and professional development opportunities. Where possible, we hope to transition postdoctoral fellows to tenure-track positions after two-years.
The Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is administered by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Anti-racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
