Postdoctoral Fellowship on the Racialization of Islam

The Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral Associate position under its initiative to study the Racialization of Islam beginning on July 1, 2017.  The candidate will be expected to be in full-time residence and to teach one course in academic year 2017-2018 related to the interdisciplinary field of Muslim American studies which overlaps and extends several ethnic studies subfields (such as Arab American studies, African American studies, and Asian American studies) as well as disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, history, religious studies, and political science.

Under the direction of Professor Stephen Pitti, the Center aims to gather students and scholars interested in Ethnic Studies fields; intersectional race, gender, and sexuality research; and Native and diasporic communities both in the United States and other countries.

The successful fellow will receive a stipend of $50,000 plus individual health insurance coverage, full access to the Yale University libraries, and shared office space.
