Job Description:

Budget Title: Postdoctoral Associate (SL-1)

Salary: $80,000 (12-month position)

The School of Nursing in the Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences (DCNHS) at Binghamton University seeks applicants for a SUNY Promoting Recruitment, Opportunity, Diversity, Inclusion and Growth plus (PRODiG+) Postdoctoral fellowship. The fellowship is a 12-month appointment for two years, with a teaching obligation of one course per year in the fellow's research, and it comes with a highly competitive compensation package. The preferred area of research specialization is open. DCNHS will strongly support the fellows' research with the goal of converting their position to a tenure track assistant professor at the conclusion of the fellowship. The standard teaching load for tenured and tenure-track faculty is 2/2.

The Fellowship is part of the SUNY-wide PRODiG+ initiative, which focuses on two goals: (1) increase the number and share of excellent diverse faculty committed to advancing the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and (2) strengthen the pipeline for retention and support of those faculty. Additional information on the PRODiG+ Fellowship can be found at https://www.suny.edu/prodig-plus/fellowship/.

Eligible candidates should demonstrate personal, academic, and/or work experience engaging with diversity, equity, and inclusion and/or a commitment to facilitating and enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the campus community. Such experience may include, but is not limited to, an academic/scholarly track record focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion; work, volunteer/unpaid/community service; or related experience/expertise in serving underserved or vulnerable areas and/or populations.

Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States without a visa sponsorship and have a PhD or relevant terminal degree from an accredited institution completed before the start date. Preference will be given to candidates who are: 1) Current SUNY students, alums, and/or Fellows; 2) From a low-income background (e.g., Pell-eligible as undergraduates), were first-generation college students (students whose parents have not earned a bachelor's degree), have overcome adversity, are AmeriCorps alums, or are veterans.

The Fellow would join the Decker School of Nursing. The DCNHS integrates the latest technology in teaching and clinical practice. From simulation labs to electronic health records training, we provide our faculty with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. We encourage faculty and student involvement in pioneering research and scholarship, driving healthcare innovation, and enriching student learning.
