Pomona College is a member of the Consortium for Faculty Diversity which, through its fellowship programs, seeks to diversify faculty at small liberal arts colleges. The Fred and Dorthy Chau Mellon Pre- or Postdoctoral Fellowship, reflects the college’s long commitment to increasing diversity and cultivating inclusion within the professoriate. We seek to attract pre- or postdoctoral fellows with demonstrated commitments to improving higher education for underrepresented students through their teaching, scholarship, and mentoring.

Located in Southern California, Pomona College is a selective liberal arts college with an enrollment of approximately 1700 undergraduate students and is a founding member of the Claremont Colleges, which include Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, Keck Graduate Institute and Claremont Graduate University. Collectively, the Claremont Colleges constitute an academic community of 8,000 students. As a result, Pomona students enjoy both the personalized instruction and close faculty-student interactions afforded by a small liberal arts college as well as the intellectual and extracurricular resources typically found at larger universities.
