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.
