Consortium for Faculty Diversity at
Liberal Arts Colleges (CFD)
Hosted by De Pauw University, this consortium serves as a
clearing house for minority scholars from all disciplines
seeking pre-/post-doc opportunities at the liberal arts
colleges that support CFD. Pomona colleges is a member of
the consortium and the “Pomona Scholar program” is our CFD-affiliated
pre-/post-doc opportunity. The website not only identifies
applicants for next year’s pre-/post-docs, but also lists
this years CFD Fellows (pre-/post-docs), who are eligible
for either regular employment or another pre-/post-doc.
- Go to CFD website:
http://www.depauw.edu/admin/acadaffairs/CFD/index.asp
- Click on “2006 Scholars” for the names, fields, and
institutions of last year’s post-docs. The site also lists
the post-docs for the previous four years. Unfortunately the
employment files for current and past post-docs are not
available.
