The New York Historical┋Mellon Gender and LGBTQ+ History Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Mellon Gender and LGBTQ+ History Postdoctoral Fellow works as a public historian for The New York Historical’s Center for Women’s History. The Gender and LGBTQ+ History Postdoctoral Fellow will strengthen the interpretive and pedagogical aspects of LGBTQ+ programming, expanding interdisciplinary efforts to encompass the intersection of women's history with gender studies and LGBTQ+ history, as The New York Historical prepares to engage fully with the new American LGBTQ+ Museum. They will be deputized with managing certain projects independently; responsibilities may include writing for the “Women at the Center” blog; working on exhibitions in development; coordinating the annual Diane and Adam E. Max Conference on Women’s History; organizing public programs; curating museum and library collections; and representing the Center in interdepartmental projects, including consulting on K-12 curricula with the Education Department, as well as to public audiences.
