Northwestern University: 2012-13 Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Asian American and American Studies
Northwestern University invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Comparative and Ethnic Studies jointly sponsored by the Programs in Asian American Studies and American Studies, to begin Fall 2012. We will accept applications from recent Ph.D's (degree granted during or after 2010); Applicants must complete all Ph.D. requirements before September 1, 2012.
The Mellon postdoctoral fellow is to be in residence during her/his tenure and make a contribution to the intellectual activities of the College and University. While there is no preference in terms of disciplinary field, we are especially looking for scholars whose research and teaching engage comparative ethnic studies in the U.S. and/or the hemisphere of the Americas. The fellow will teach two courses a year which will be cross-listed in Asian American and American Studies as well as deliver one public talk a year based on their research. The fellow would also be invited to interact with other units across the College and University including African American Studies and Latina/o Studies and initiatives like the Colloquium on Ethnicity and Diaspora.
To apply, candidates should submit an application, in both hard copy and an electronic version, that includes a curriculum vita, research statement of the project to be undertaken during the fellowship year, writing sample of approximately 50 pages, and a sample syllabus for one upper-division undergraduate course. Candidates should also ensure that graduate school transcripts as well as three letters of recommendations (including one letter from the dissertation advisor) are forwarded as part of the application. Please address application to Professors Carolyn Chen and Ivy Wilson. Hardcopies should be sent to:
Asian American and American Studies Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship

Electronic versions should follow and be mailed to: asianamerican@northwestern.edu
Applications are due by February 1, 2011, and the recipient will be notified in April 2011.
