Job Description
The Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago
invites applications for a Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Latinx politics. While we are primarily interested in someone
who studies Latinx politics within the United States, we welcome
applications from scholars who also investigate these issues from a
comparative or transnational perspective that includes a focus on
the U.S. This fellowship provides up to two years of funding for
junior scholars whose accomplishments make them exceptionally
competitive for faculty positions and whose background or
membership in historically underrepresented groups would contribute
to the diversity of our faculty. Fellows will teach one course per
year. At the end of the fellowship period and following an academic
review, the Fellow may be directly promoted to a tenure-track
assistant professorship.
Qualifications
Candidates must have completed all requirements for the PhD degree prior to the start of the appointment.

Consideration of applications will begin on September 16, 2021.
