Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowships
For achieving excellence in college and university teaching
Through its program of Diversity Fellowships, the Ford Foundation seeks to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, to maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and to increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students. The postdoctoral fellowships provide one year of support for postdoctoral study. Postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded in a national competition based on demonstrated superior academic achievement, commitment to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and preparation to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students. Open to citizens or nationals of the United States who have been awarded a Ph.D. or Sc.D. degree in an eligible research-based field from a U.S. educational institution.

IBM Fellowship Program
IBM offers two postdoctoral fellowships with generous stipends:
Herman Goldstein Memorial Fellowship
The Herman Goldstein Memorial Fellowship is for research in mathematical and computer sciences. It provides scientists of outstanding ability an opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members at the Research Center, located in Westchester County, less than an hour north of New York City. The Mathematical Sciences Department provides an atmosphere in which basic research is combined with work on technical problems arising in industry. Areas of research include: algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line); coding theory; cryptography; data mining (machine learning, pattern recognition, and computational statistics); dynamical systems and differential equations; high-performance computation (including scientific computing and parallel computing); numerical analysis; optimization (discrete, continuous, and stochastic); probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues and queuing networks); statistics (time-series, multivariate analysis, design, and reliability); and supply-chain and operations management (pricing, optimization and performance modeling).

Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computer Science and Computer Engineering is awarded each year to one recent Ph.D. who shows exceptional promise for a research career in computer science or computer engineering. The fellowship will be for one year, with an opportunity for IBM to renew for an additional year. Depending on proposed collaborations, the fellow will spend most of the fellowship at one of the IBM research laboratories. The fellow will be free to follow his/her own research interests, but is expected to work closely with other IBM researchers.
