The Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice at Brown University and the John Carter Brown Library (JCB) invite applications for a postdoctoral fellowship focused on any area/theme of historical scholarship around racial slavery, and/ or Indigenous dispossession and slavery.

The Simmons Center-JCB postdoctoral fellowship is expected to be offered annually in recognition of our collective commitment to advance scholarship in critical areas. Applications representing a wide range of disciplinary perspectives are welcome.
Applications received by February 15, 2024 will receive full consideration. The position salary is $72,000 and includes benefits and a modest research account.
