Tecumseh Postdoctoral Fellows 2017-18
In 2015, the Office of the Provost called for faculty initiatives to increase the diversity of our tenured and tenure-track faculty through the Diversity Transformation Award. A committee of faculty and graduate students submitted a proposal titled "Four Directions: Building a Foundation for Native Scholars." The Tecumseh Postdoctoral Fellowship is the key component of initiative. The postdoctoral opportunity provides a pathway for Indigenous scholars to be supported and mentored by Purdue faculty culminating in a potential tenure-track appointment. The Tecumseh Postdoctoral Fellowship is a one-year academic appointment and is available to any department or college across the university.
The fellowship is also supported by funds from:
- College of Liberal Arts
- College of Agriculture
- College of Education
- College of Engineering
- College of Health and Human Sciences
- Krannert School of Management
- College of Pharmacy
- College of Science
- College of Veterinary Medicine
