SUMMARY:Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institution (NASNTI) Post-Doctoral Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institution (NASNTI) Post-doctoral Fellowship\nUniversity of Minnesota\, Morris\nJob Opening Number 321031 \nInstitutional Background: \nThe University of Minnesota\, Morris (UMM) makes its home on a 121-year-old campus on the western edge of the state and is one of the top public liberal arts colleges in the nation.  The small\, close-knit campus emphasizes faculty/student collaboration in research\, study abroad\, and service learning.  Deeply rooted in the tall grass prairies of Minnesota\, the campus also has advanced sustainable\, environmentally friendly initiatives that have grown to levels of national leadership and touch nearly all aspects of campus life. \nA member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges\, (COPLAC)\, Morris is an undergraduate-focused residential liberal arts community that provides a rigorous academic experience preparing its students to be global citizens who value and pursue intellectual growth\, civic engagement\, intercultural competence\, and environmental stewardship. The student body of approximately 1900 students is supported by 120 faculty members with a student/faculty ratio of 15/1.  The Morris campus is the most ethnically diverse in the University of Minnesota system with 27 percent students of color (of which 18 percent are American Indian students) and 11 percent international students. \nMorris culture is characterized by an unwavering commitment to the liberal arts and undergraduate education as well as\, by the particular traditions it has developed in pursuing that mission.  The community believes in the values of shared governance (embodied in its official policy-making body\, an inclusive Campus Assembly)\, and it recognizes the heritage of its campus (which originally began as an American Indian boarding school) with a vigorous commitment to diversity. With a vibrant sense of community in and out of the classroom\, Morris aims to integrate curricular\, co-curricular\, and extra-curricular aspects of the student experience\, and it reaches outward to the broader community with collaborative enterprises and service-learning initiatives. A distinct campus within the larger University of Minnesota system\, Morris combines the benefits of an intimate\, student-centered community with many of the resources and opportunities of one of the nation’s largest universities. \n Job Description: \nThe NASNTI Post-doctoral Fellowship is part of the Native American Student Success (NASS) program at UMM. Funding for the program is through the US Department of Education Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institution program supporting Native American students in higher education. Through the fellowship\, we seek to support scholars of the Liberal Arts who are committed to advancing the perspectives of American Indian/Alaskan Natives through their creative activity\, teaching\, research\, service or mentoring of students.

Post-doctoral fellows typically teach two courses per year\, work closely with faculty mentors inside and outside of their disciplines\, and mentor student scholars.  The fellows will also share their expertise with the university community and participate in selected activities to support student learning\, persistence and success. \nQualifications:\nCandidates must have completed their PhD or other terminal degree no more than three years before the starting date (August 2018).
