CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON RACE
AND ETHNICITY IN SOCIETY (CRRES)
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP RSP
Indiana University, Bloomington is pleased to accept applications
for two Postdoctoral Fellowships for scholars in a broad range of
fields, including African American and African Diaspora Studies,
American Studies (includes Native American Studies), Anthropology,
History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Postdoctoral
fellows are an important component of the intellectual life of
CRRES. The CRRES fellowship program aims to create a legacy of
qualified scholars who will be positioned to address the broad
issue of race and ethnicity in the United States using a
multidisciplinary lens. These fellowships are designed to nurture
the academic careers of scholars by allowing them the opportunity
to pursue their research while gaining mentored experience as
teachers, CRRES fellows, and members of the faculty in host
departments. We are looking for self-motivated and highly-organized
individuals who can work independently and as members of a team.
Appropriate areas of specialization include U.S. coverage of: (1)
immigration, immigrant politics, and/or immigrant experiences; (2)
race, ethnicity, and religion; (3) health disparities, health
policy, and health economics; (4) racial attitudes; (5) minorities
and social movements; and (6) social inequality. We welcome
cross-national research as long as there is a comparison with U.S.
groups, with a substantial focus on the American experience.
Terms of Agreement Fellows are expected to pursue
research activities associated with their primary area(s) of work,
as demonstrated by conference presentations (including CRRES) and
published works. Fellows will also teach two courses in their home
departments in each year of their residency; are expected to
participate in CRRES activities; and take part in their home
departments' colloquia and/or seminars. The positions are available
for two years beginning August 1, 2014 through May 31, 2016, at a
10-month starting salary of $51,500. Each postdoctoral fellow will
also receive $3,000/yr. in research support and Indiana University
health benefits. Fellows are allocated office space (with basic
office supplies), a computer, and printer. Application
Process We invite applications from qualified candidates
who are at the beginning of their academic careers, having received
the Ph.D. in 2012 or 2013 but who do not hold tenure-track academic
positions. Candidates who do not hold a Ph.D. but expect to by June
30, 2014 must supply a letter from the chair of their dissertation
committee, confirming the proposed timeline for completion.
Interested candidates should review the application requirements
and submit their application at: indiana.peopleadmin.com .
All applicants
must file or deposit their dissertations no later than June 30,
2014. Candidates should be prepared to submit a cover letter, CV,
personal statement (approximately 3000 words describing their
dissertation project, work in progress, professional goals and
plans for publication, and proposed major field(s) of teaching),
and three letters of reference. If available, applicants may also
submit materials demonstrating their aptitude as teachers.
Incomplete dossiers will not be reviewed. Following review by the
CRRES postdoctoral committee, strong applications will be
circulated to relevant departments. Questions regarding the
position or application process can be directed to: Pamela
Braboy Jackson, Search Committee Chair, Center for Research on Race
and Ethnicity in Society, Indiana University - Schuessler Institute
