The Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice at Rutgers University (New Brunswick Center) and the School of Arts and Sciences, invite applications for the 2021-2023 Scarlet and Black Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Scholars engaged in the examination of the global dimensions of anti-Black racism and its impact upon the Americas (1580-to the present) are invited to apply. We are interested in research projects that examine the origins, evolution, impact and legacy of race, difference, and the modern quest for civil and human rights.

The successful applicant must have the doctorate in History at the time of application and be no more than five years beyond receipt of the Ph.D. This two-year fellowship carries an annual salary of $60,000, health benefits, and a $5,000 research allowance.

In addition to teaching one course per year within the Department of History at New Brunswick, fellows will participate in weekly seminars and contribute to ongoing projects connected to the Scarlet and Black Project. (https://scarletandblack.rutgers.edu) Fellows will be expected to participate in the intellectual life of the ISGRJ, and to acknowledge the support of the ISGRJ in publications and lectures that stem from work conducted during the fellowship term. All fellows will be expected to offer one public presentation during their tenure at Rutgers.

Applications should be addressed to Professor Erica Armstrong Dunbar, Post-Doc Search Chair, and submitted electronically to: https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/125504

Applications should include the following materials: letter of interest, C.V., research proposal, writing sample (no longer than fifteen pages), and at least three confidential letters of reference. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2021.

*The residency requirement is contingent on current public health policies implemented by Rutgers University, the State of New Jersey, and the fellows’ home institutions.

 

The Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice

The Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice is a conduit for new knowledge and ideas, providing opportunities for Rutgers faculty whose inquiries address racism and social inequality to work collaboratively and effect meaningful action and positive change. In bringing together scholars from multiple humanities disciplines across Rutgers—from law to language, from philosophy to art, from history to gender studies—the institute serves as a universitywide intellectual corridor that escalates the likelihood that their explorations and findings will inform real-world decisions, providing solutions to problems that have been increasingly thrust into sharp focus in the United States and around the globe.
