Postdoctoral Fellowships for Black Scholars
Black scholars are among the most underrepresented in postdoctoral positions, tenured faculty positions, and in university leadership. Building on the recommendations of the Anti-Black Racism (opens in new window) Campus Climate Review and reinforced by the (PDF file) Standing Strong (opens in new window) committee recommendations, and as part of a wider commitment to equity, in recognition of the barriers to equal opportunities for education and employment, TMU implemented this program with the goals of building a more diverse and inclusive academe, and supporting the flourishing of Black scholarship. In particular, this program seeks to expand and advance Black scholarship and intellectual traditions, and support the academic endeavours of the Black community.
The fellowship competition is currently closed. The next call for applications is expected in January 2027, with fellowships available in September 2027.
