The
Department of English, the Program in Medieval Studies, and the
Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University invite
applications for a two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in
International Humanities in "Medieval Studies and Race."
We seek
to appoint an exceptional scholar of Middle English literature and
language (additional medieval languages a plus), whose research is
well informed by the cultural, theoretical, and pedagogical issues
of race. Ideally, this scholar's teaching and research will
examine relations between traditional Medieval Studies of Europe
and the urgent problems of race in America today.
The
Fellow will be expected to teach one course per semester on topics
in Medieval Studies with a special emphasis on race; of these, at
least one course per year should engage literature in Middle
English. Courses will be cross-listed in the English
Department, the Medieval Studies Program, and the Cogut Institute
for the Humanities. In addition, the Fellow will be expected to
attend and participate in weekly Fellows seminars at the Cogut
Institute, and to present a work-in-progress once during each
academic year of their residency.
Applicants must have received a Ph.D. from an institution other
than Brown within the last five (5) years. Receipt of the
Ph.D. is required by the time of appointment. Salary is
$61,500 the first year with an increase to $63,907 the second year,
plus benefits and a research budget of $2,000 per year.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of application to the
Search Committee with a current CV, a writing sample of no more
than 25 pages, two detailed descriptions of proposed courses, a 1-2
page diversity statement, and three (3) letters of recommendation
via Interfolio at: apply.interfolio.com/81238
