Amidst all the quarantine madness, I realize I hadn’t yet announced what I’ll be doing for work next year! I’ve been award the University of California President’s Postdoc for this coming year. I’ll be working at University of California Santa Cruz in the Computational Media Department.
The UC President’s Postdoc is awarded to a limited number of applicants each year with the hope of improving diversity within tenure track faculty ranks in the University of California system. For the 2020-2021 cohort, there were 1032 applicants and they offered 37 awards. I am extremely honored to have been chosen!
I am transitioning to this new position at the beginning of July and I’ll be working remotely for the present, but I’m looking forward to continuing my research with disabled folks, play, games, and equity! I’ll be posting more in the future both about my experiences on the job market thus far and my plans for future research projects. Stay tuned!
