AWC Post-Doctoral Program
Investment in Emerging Scholars
Annually, each AWC Leadership Institution funds a Post-Doctoral Fellow. Post-Doctoral Fellows are expected to conduct research and engage with students, either through teaching or leading discussion seminars. In the short run, these fellows enhance the diversity of course offerings across campuses. In the long run, their participation in the Consortium will better place them for success and expand the Consortium's network as they build careers at other institutions.
