Postdoctoral Fellows for Academic Diversity
College of Arts and Sciences
American University
The College of Arts and Sciences at American University is pleased
to announce two Postdoctoral
Fellowships for Academic Diversity to begin in Fall 2021. These
positions are designed to support the
development of early-career scholars who show promise of
distinguished research careers and who
are from sectors of the population historically underrepresented on
the professorial faculties of U.S.
colleges and universities.
The initial appointment is a 12-month term position and will
commence on August 1, 2021, with the
possibility of a one-year extension. Applicants should hold a PhD
or other terminal degree in their
discipline by their proposed start date. The position is open to
all disciplines with priority given to
STEM fields. The position will require the incumbent to conduct
research with an AU faculty mentor
or mentors, teach one course per Academic Year in their field and
participate in School and University
activities. Optionally, there will be zero courses in the second
Academic Year for lab science fellows.
Salary is competitive and includes full health benefits. Fellows
will also receive up to $3,000 in onetime
start-up expenses and reimbursement for up to $2,000 per academic
year in eligible research
expenses.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue
until the position is filled. Please
submit applications via Interfolio: http://apply.interfolio.com/82854.
Include a letter of application
outlining the candidate’s research and teaching interests, a
description of how the candidate proposes
to work with one or more specific College faculty mentors(s) and/or
research center(s), a current
curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation from scholars who
know the candidate’s work well,
recent teaching evaluations (when possible), and electronic copies
of recently published papers or
working papers. Candidates are not required to contact potential AU
mentors in advance. The
materials of competitive applicants will be forwarded to those
collaborators following an initial review.
Questions should be directed to Haely Jardas, Special Assistant to
the Dean, at 202-885-2446 or
hjardas@american.edu.
