FELLOWSHIPS

UCLA Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Chicano Studies Research Center collaborates with departments across North and South campus and with the centers of the Institute of American Cultures (IAC) to host recipients of the UCLA Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Each fellowship appointment is for up to two years; during their appointment, Fellows advance their research and preparation for tenure-track faculty roles under the mentorship of UCLA faculty. Fellows are also invited to attend professional development workshops and networking opportunities with faculty and other postdoctoral fellows.
