Hiring Unit
Office of the Provost
Job Description
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) invites applications for its Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Fellowships will be awarded to scholars in any field of study, who are committed to inclusive excellence, student success and preparing students to be change makers in their communities, workplaces, and all arenas of civic life.
SIUE’s distinctive character is defined by its faculty’s capacity to fulfill the values of its Teacher Scholar Philosophy. This philosophy is guided by a serious and continuing commitment to scholarly teaching, student learning and engagement. Those seeking a postdoctoral appointment must demonstrate similar values and motivation to teach, mentor students and apply effective strategies to facilitate the learning of a diverse student population.
Postdoctoral Fellows will be appointed for a period of two years with a start date no later than August 16, 2024. 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. Compensation will vary by discipline and include health benefits and funding to support conference travel for the dissemination of research and creative activities. Fellows will be provided with office space, a computer, and have access to campus facilities, support services and programs. To support belonging and facilitate connectedness with the broader SIUE community, the postdoctoral experience will also include structured mentorship, relationship building and professional development opportunities.
SIUE is committed to recruiting, retaining, and supporting the advancement of the most diverse faculty among Illinois public higher education institutions. A diverse faculty enhances the breadth, depth and quality of our academic programs and supports the retention and graduation of SIUE’s diverse student population, thus strengthening and expanding the global workforce. We strongly encourage scholars from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.
While SIUE seeks applications from scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines to serve as fellows in any of the University's current academic programs, fellows will be appointed based on an assessment of institutional needs, priorities, and opportunities for growth.
For the 2024-2026 fellowship period, we are especially interested in the following:
Scholars in the fine and performing arts, communications, humanities, sciences, and social sciences, particularly those with an interest in interdisciplinary programs such as Black Studies, Environmental Sciences, Forensic Sciences, International Studies, Native American Studies, and Women Studies; and scholars whose teaching and scholarship will take students beyond the classroom to engage and serve communities.
Scholars with a Ph.D. in Economics, particularly those with a research interest in health economics, which is an area of thought leadership for the business school.
Scholars with an interest in engaging with communities for early promotion of careers in oral healthcare and dental technology with a special focus on initiatives that help to diversify the oral healthcare workforce.
School of Education, Health, and Human Behavior
The School of Education, Health and Human Behavior is committed to social and racial justice. We seek creative scholars who are vested in intentional, supportive, socially conscious, community engaged work. Faculty are committed to excellence in all forms of multi and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our school supports a wide array of multidisciplinary and action focused research. This work includes p-20 education, ed leadership, psychology, and the field of applied health.
Scholars with Computer Science and Engineering degrees, especially those with a background that cuts across other disciplines, particularly in the social sciences and humanities. Scholars who can help the School of Engineering engage other units and recruit a more diverse student body. Those who are especially interested in entrepreneurship will be very helpful in engaging local communities.
Scholars with a Ph.D. or DNP in Nursing with a research focus on the interface of health equity and the social determinants of health in practice settings, nursing education, or community setting.
Library and Information Services
Scholars (with an MLS, Ph.D. in library or information science, or a Ph.D. in a related relevant field of study) with an interest in Archives and Unique Collections in particular with a special focus on Maps or Rare Books; or scholars with an interest in ‘embedded librarianship,’ with a particular interest in information literacy and general education; or scholars with an interest in technical services (access, discovery, human/computer interface).
