uc berkeley campanille

The Advancing Faculty Diversity in the Arts and Humanities Grant (AFDAH) provides up to $40,000 over two years for the Arts & Humanities PPFP concierge program.

Arts and Humanities programs that are considering inviting current or former UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) participants to do on-campus talks as part of their search processes may have their expenses associated with these visits (up to $3,000 per candidate) covered by the grant.

Information about the AFDAH PPFP Concierge Program: 

This program works with departments to incorporate, when possible, the PPFP fellows in their outreach, candidate pools, and hiring plans. The A&H DEIBJ office staff meets with departments to discuss current FTEs, researches new Fellows, and works with departments and centers to host Fellows of interest. 

The A&H PPFP Concierge Program ($40,000 over two years) supports:

  • Candidate research and selection

  • Candidate hosting (talks, events, dinners)

  • Information and consultations regarding the FTE benefits and hiring incentives of the PPFP program for departments

Overview of PPFP hiring incentives(link is external): $85,000/yr for five years; waiver of open search: a PPFP hire does not take the place of an FTE for 5 years; if not initially hired at a UC, former PPFP candidates are eligible for the salary support and waiver at any time in their academic career.

Interested departments can contact Alberto Ledesma (aledesma@berkeley.edu(link sends e-mail)) and maria faini (mfaini@berkeley.edu(link sends e-mail)) for details.
