Contact minority fellowship associations or consortiums such as the Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowships http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/fordfellowships/ and the Consortium for Faculty Diversity (CFD). Ask for the names of recent recipients in the field for which you are searching; these organizations will gladly provide you with names and contact numbers for recent recipients. The CFD’s website, www.depauw.edu/admin/acadaffairs/cfd/, contains a list of scholars for 2002-2011, along with their academic fields. Contact those candidates and encourage them to apply, even if they may already have other positions. 

Contact people running discipline-specific programs for cultivating greater diversity among doctoral recipients. For example, the American Economic Association runs a summer program for undergraduates from diverse backgrounds to help them develop mathematical skills and encourage them to attend graduate school. The person running this program would have the names of many top candidates in the pipeline. Send the ad to people who run such programs and ask for nominations and/or that they pass the ad along to possible candidates.

The NSF runs programs to help diversify the Ph.D. pool in the sciences, including “Increasing the Participation and Advancement of Women in Academic Science and Engineering Careers” (ADVANCE) http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5383

Search for national or university-specific graduate student organizations or conferences for students from diverse backgrounds (e.g., the minority student organization at the UC Berkeley Chemistry Department; the Native American graduate student organizations at Universities of Michigan, Illinois, and Oklahoma). Write to officers or contact persons and send the ad.

Research Doctorates Awarded to U.S. Citizens, by Race/Ethnicity, Sex, and Fine Field of Study: 2009

The Survey of Earned Doctorates, the data source for this report, is an annual census of graduate students who earn research doctoral degrees from accredited academic institutions in the United States. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Department of Education sponsor this survey. These data are reported in several NSF publications, the most comprehensive and widely used of which is the annual Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities: Summary Report. This 2009 edition, which is titled Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities, reveals significant changes in the report’s format and structure. The printed report presents trends in doctoral education and is organized into five themes. Online, trends may be studied in depth via detailed data tables and interactive graphics at www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf11306/. Technical notes and other online resources aid in interpreting the data.

Ford Foundation Fellows 

Ford Foundation Fellows recipients include Alaskan Natives (Eskimo or Aleut), Native American Indians, Black/African Americans, Mexican Americans/Chicanos, Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesian or Micronesian) and Puerto Ricans in physical and life sciences, mathematics, behavioral and social sciences, engineering, and humanities. This database only includes those awards administered by the National Research Council.

Liberal Arts College Association for Faculty Inclusion (Amherst is a member, and we can post jobs on this site)

The members of this association commit themselves to diversity and assisting in the recruitment and appointment of those committed to diversity, including underrepresented minorities (URM), to positions as postdoctoral fellows and faculty at liberal arts colleges. The member institutions collectively send two or more representatives to national research conferences that attract large numbers of URM scientists. The overall purpose of this shared travel program is to distribute information about career opportunities in teaching and research at liberal arts colleges, to meet potential job candidates, and to establish connections with interested doctoral-granting institutions.   

Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS)

SACNAS is a society of scientists dedicated to fostering the success of  Hispanic/Chicano and Native American scientists—from college students to professionals—to attain advanced degrees, careers, and positions of leadership in science.
