The Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society
(CRRES) at Indiana University, Bloomington, invites
applications for up to two CRRES Postdoctoral Fellowships. These
fellowships provide support to scholars studying race and ethnicity
from a broad range of fields in the social sciences and humanities,
including education, criminal justice, environment,
gender/sexualities, public health, and media. We are particularly
interested in candidates whose research intersects with African
American and African Diaspora Studies, Native and Indigenous
Studies, Latino Studies, and/or Asian American Studies. Fellows
will be placed in one of IU’s sixteen degree granting schools, and
are expected to pursue research activities associated with their
primary area of work, as demonstrated by conference presentations
and published works. CRRES fellowships are designed to advance the
careers of new scholars by providing opportunities to research,
teach, and connect with mentors and with faculty in host
departments. Strong applicants will demonstrate evidence of
scholarly potential that will make them competitive for
tenure-track appointments at Indiana University and other research
universities.
Terms of Agreement Fellows are expected to pursue
research, teach one course during each year of residency, and
participate in CRRES as well as host department activities and
seminars. This two-year position begins on August 1, 2022 and ends
on May 31, 2024, at a 10-month annual salary of $51,500.
Postdoctoral fellows will also receive Indiana University health
benefits and $3,000 each year in research support.
Application Process We invite applications from
qualified candidates at the beginning of their academic careers who
do not yet hold tenure-track academic positions. Applicants must
have a Ph.D. in hand or a letter from the chair of their
dissertation committee confirming the timeline for completion and
filing by June 30, 2022. Applicants should submit a (1) cover
letter; (2) CV; (3) research statement describing dissertation
project, work in progress, plans for publication, and professional
goals; (4) teaching statement; (5) writing sample; (6) diversity
statement highlighting contributions to diversity by way of
scholarship, pedagogy, and/or community engagement; and (7) three
letters of reference. Applications should be submitted online at:
