Dear colleagues,

*please share widely / apologies for cross postings!*

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the Watson Institute
for International and Public Affairs at Brown University invites
applications for a one-year non-renewable postdoctoral fellowship
<https://chroniclevitae.com/jobs/0000401058-01> as part of the 2018-19
Mellon Sawyer Seminar on Race and Indigeneity in the Americas. The
successful applicant will have research and teaching interests that focus
on race, racism, and indigeneity in the Americas. We seek candidates who
can complement the Center’s interdisciplinary strengths and contribute to
the existing emphasis on race and racialization in Latin America, the
Caribbean, and Latinx communities. Theoretical attention to questions of
race, gender and sexuality is strongly encouraged.

The successful candidate must demonstrate scholarly promise and will be
expected to collaborate with two graduate student fellows to coordinate
workshops and seminars, co-curate a related exhibit, and contribute to the
development of promotional materials. The postdoctoral fellow will teach an
undergraduate course on race and indigeneity in Latin America and the
Caribbean from the perspective of his/her own discipline.

Fellow will receive a salary of $60,000, benefits, and a research/travel
fund of $3,000 per year. Ph.D. should be in hand by the start of the
appointment on July 1, 2018. Applicants must have received their Ph.D. in
any discipline in the humanities or social sciences from institutions other
than Brown.
To apply, please submit through Interfolio
<https://apply.interfolio.com/46311>: 1) a cover letter, including a
discussion of the relevance of your research and training to the Sawyer
Seminar theme as well as a discussion of any prior experience organizing
interdisciplinary, scholarly events; 2) a curriculum vitae; 3) a list of
three referees; and 4) a brief undergraduate course proposal related to the
Sawyer Seminar theme. Review of applications will begin on January 31,
2018, and will continue until the position is filled.
