The Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan will have several openings available over the next few years.  In particular, we seek exceptional applicants to nominate for the LSA Collegiate Fellows Program (LCF), and the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP). The College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA) and the University seek applicants whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education. The program is particularly interested in scholars with a demonstrated interest in bringing to their teaching, mentoring, service, engagement, and/or research the critical perspectives that come from underrepresented educational backgrounds and pathways or scholarly understanding of the experiences of groups who are historically marginalized in higher education. Fellows participate in a program that includes faculty mentoring, professional development, and academic networking opportunities. These fellowships may be held either prior to or simultaneously with a possible tenure track appointment.

We ask that applicants submit their materials by September 19, 2021, if possible, but applications will continue to be accepted after that date and considered when possible. This early submission is strongly recommended and allows us to interview candidates in September, prior to the LCF and PPFP program deadlines. The LCF and PPFP programs consider scholars across multiple disciplines and are administered by the College of LSA and the Provost’s Office, respectively. They have slightly different eligibility requirements, selection criteria, application materials, and deadlines. The department can assist applicants in confirming their eligibility. If you wish to apply for either of these programs, you MUST apply at that program's respective website.
