Postdoctoral Fellowship in Diversifying Historical Epistemology
The Department of History at Brown University invites applicants for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in diversifying historical epistemology, in any geographic field or period of history. The fellow's work should be grounded in a critical engagement with the politics of knowledge, foregrounding the relationship between histories of systemic racism or structural inequality and knowledge formation. While the fellow's research should be historical, applicants with a PhD in allied fields are also encouraged to apply. The PhD, from an institution other than Brown University, must be in hand by July 1, 2024; applicants must not have had more than five years of academic employment since the awarding of the PhD. The Fellow will teach one undergraduate course each year.

Interested candidates should speak to their ability to contribute to each of these three areas in a letter of application. Please also send a curriculum vitae, an article or chapter- length writing sample, and three letters of reference, via Interfolio [link]. Review of applications will begin February 15, 2024. To assure full consideration applicants should submit their materials by that date.
Fellows are employed as postdoctoral research associates with a $65,000 salary, standard benefits, and a $2,000 per year reimbursable research fund. Scholars from outside the United States are appointed under J-1 visas (exchange visitors status) only.
