The University of Central Florida launched a Faculty Cluster Initiative in 2015 to foster the development of strong, inclusive, and diverse interdisciplinary faculty teams that will leverage the university's existing strengths to tackle specific challenges and opportunities. For nearly as long as universities have been around, they have been subdivided by academic discipline into colleges and departments. Although this structure serves many purposes, many pressing scientific and societal issues do not conform to those divisions.
The initiative has hired over 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty to date, but we are looking for an additional 9 faculty members to join us in fall 2020 to tackle the challenges of growing importance around the world and to advance UCF’s unique areas of excellence and global impact.
Designed to produce transformative breakthroughs along the boundaries between disciplines -- or even to redefine those boundaries -- the initiative has so far produced nine clusters in areas including cybersecurity and privacy, disability, aging, and technology, renewable energy and chemical transformations, genomics and bioinformatics, learning sciences, prosthetic interfaces, renewable, intelligent, and sustainable energy systems, sustainable coastal systems, and violence against women.
We invite you to learn more about the Faculty Cluster Initiative here: https://www.ucf.edu/faculty/faculty-research-clusters/ .

As an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, UCF encourages all qualified applicants to apply, including women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of traditionally underrepresented populations.

SCOPE OF WORK
Northwest Indian College invites applicants for a full-time postdoctoral research position on the Lummi main campus at the Salish Sea Research Center (SSRC). The SSRC is a 4,200 sq. ft. research center with a variety of equipment and instruments, including a genetic laboratory and two research vessels. The SSRC works with our tribal partners to focus on community-identified research and increase the presence and influence of Native American leadership in the area of marine sciences. Solutions to environmental degradation require attention to both science and culture. Specifically, the SSRC is charged with increasing the number of Native Americans with science backgrounds in leadership roles that serve their communities. The SSRC provides a facility for world-class research and its mission complements and enhances the efforts of research at Northwest Indian College.
The Salish Sea Research Center seeks an energetic individual to help drive our research forward. We work on marine issues related to the Salish Sea that affect the Indigenous communities in the area.

The Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry of Emory University is accepting post-doctoral applications for 2020-2021. The FCHI Post-Doctoral Fellowship funds an academic year of study, teaching, and residence at the Center. The FCHI Fellows Program offers research opportunities to those trained in the humanities as traditionally defined and to others seriously interested in humanistic issues; research projects must be humanistic, but fellows may hold the Ph.D. in any discipline. We especially seek applicants and projects that will benefit from and contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of the group of Fellows and the work of the FCHI.
Post-Doctoral Fellows, who must have the Ph.D. in hand before the submission of their applications , are awarded to those who have held the Ph.D. for no more than six years before receiving the fellowship.
Besides being an active member of the Center’s intellectual agenda through the academic year, Fellows will be expected to offer an upper-level interdisciplinary undergraduate seminar on a subject of their choice during the spring of the fellowship year. Stipends of $47,000 will be offered to Post-Doctoral Fellows, along with a research budget of $2,000, shared office space in the Center, and library access. The deadline for submission of completed applications is January 15, 2020. Announcements of awards will begin in mid-April and will continue until all positions are filled.
