Duke University Postdoctoral Fellowship in Latina/o Studies

The Program in Latino/a Studies in the Global South (LSGS) invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship, renewable for a second year, to begin in August 2017.

LSGS seeks interdisciplinary scholars with a comparative, innovative, and transnational approach, trained and solidly grounded in U.S. Latino and Latina History. Research interests may include any––or a combination––of the following areas: historical agency and memory; ethnoracial formations; gender and sexuality; citizenship; empire; migration; hemispheric studies; and related topics. LSGS is particularly interested in scholars who move beyond traditional studies of communities bounded by a singular national origin.
 
The successful candidate will receive a salary of $47,000, plus benefits; teach two courses per year; pursue research; and participate in the development of public and intellectual programming in Latino/a Studies at Duke. To receive full consideration, please submit the following application materials:

• (i.) letter of intent;
• (ii.) curriculum vitae;
• (iii.) research proposal;
• (iv.) outline of possible course offerings;
• (v.) statement of possible programmatic initiatives or collaborations while at Duke;
• (vi.) article-length writing sample;
• (vii.) graduate transcript; and
• (viii.) three confidential letters of recommendation

by 28 February 2017.
