Inclusive Excellence Post Doctoral and Visiting Scholars Program

The University of New Mexico’s Inclusive Excellence Post-Doctoral and Visiting Scholars Program (IEPDVSP) is available to support up to three post-doctoral research associate or visiting scholar positions that would enhance campus racial/ethnic diversity on main campus. Candidates must be nominated by academic units that wish to hire them for 12-month appointments.

The goal is to identify individuals from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority (URM) groups (i.e. African American/Black, American Indian/Indigenous, and Latinx), or women traditionally underrepresented in STEM areas or other fields, who are potential candidates for campus positions that would help to diversify the faculty and promote strategic hiring goals. 

Departments are encouraged to mentor and support high-potential candidates to prepare them for tenure track assistant professor appointments at UNM. In addition, departments are encouraged to apply for DEI bridge funding for hiring URM tenure-system faculty after candidate's successful completion of the Inclusive Excellence postdoc/visiting scholars program.

Funding is available to support up to three post-doctoral research associate or visiting scholar positions that would enhance campus racial/ethnic diversity. Candidates must be nominated by academic units that wish to hire them. Candidates may not apply directly.
