Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Politics of Race and Ethnicity (Dartmouth College)

Dartmouth College invites applications for a Guarini Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Government. This fellowship supports scholars whose research addresses the politics of race and ethnicity in any subfield. In addition, the fellowship promotes student and faculty diversity at Dartmouth, and throughout higher education, by supporting research by underrepresented scholars, and others, with a demonstrated ability to advance educational diversity and inclusivity. Applicants will be selected on the basis of their academic achievement, promise in both research and teaching, and their demonstrated commitment to addressing underrepresentation in higher education.

This is a two-year residential fellowship, with one course taught in the second year. Throughout, fellows are expected to pursue research activities while participating fully in the intellectual life of the department and the college. Fellows receive an annual stipend of approximately $55,200 plus benefits and an allocation for research expenses (exact funding levels will be set at the time of offer).
 
Guarini Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellows are part of the Provost’s Fellowship Program, a multidisciplinary cohort of approximately ten predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars who share a commitment to increasing diversity and inclusivity in their disciplines. Fellows participate together in mentoring and professional development programming, including guidance in preparing for faculty careers.
