[Sanjay Purushotham]

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) is now accepting
applications for Cohort VI (2021-2023) of the Postdoctoral Fellowship for
Faculty Diversity. All application materials must be received by October 2
2020 via Interfolio, to start fellowships in July 2021.

UMBC’s Postdoctoral Fellowship for Faculty Diversity is a 2-year
in-residence fellowship that supports promising scholars who are committed
to diversity and inclusive excellence in the academy and to prepare those
scholars for possible tenure-track appointments at UMBC. During the
two-year appointment, UMBC provides fellows with teaching and research
mentors, and professional development opportunities across campus.
Fellowship recipients are provided with a stipend, health benefits, office
space, library, and additional funding for conference travel.  The
Department of Information Systems at UMBC offers a supportive environment
for Postdoctoral Fellows with a strong focus on mentoring, and will
supplement the base stipend and conference travel allowances for
Postdoctoral Fellows working with mentors in the department.

The Department of Information Systems is a research-intensive department
with thriving graduate and undergraduate programs (http://is.umbc.edu). Our
faculty are engaged in cutting-edge multidisciplinary research, including
the following areas:

-AI and Machine Learning

-Data Science

-Health Informatics

-Human-Computer Interaction

-Software Engineering

We welcome applications for study in any field represented within
Information Systems and in particular interdisciplinary fields and emerging
fields.

UMBC is a national model for diversity and inclusive excellence in STEM
through its Meyerhoff Scholars program (http://meyerhoff.umbc.edu/), Center
for Women in Technology Scholars program (http://cwit.umbc.edu/), and
PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP and LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate programs to
widen access for groups which have been traditionally underrepresented in
careers in STEM.
