Fellowship Opportunities
The Center for African American Studies annually offers two fellowship opportunities. The application period for academic year 2010-2011 is open and details are provided at the links below. For questions, please contact Prof. Noliwe Rooks (nrooks@princeton.edu).
Distinguished Visitor:
The Center for African American Studies at Princeton University invites nominations, or self-nominations for faculty members from research universities and liberal arts colleges for a Distinguished Visiting Appointment for the 2010-2011 academic year. This visiting appointment was established to enable the Center to invite one scholar each year whose research and teaching explicitly examines issues of race in innovative interdisciplinary ways. Candidates in any field may apply. The Distinguished Visitor may be appointed for one semester, or for the entire academic year and will, with the approval of the Dean of the Faculty, teach one undergraduate lecture course, participate in faculty-graduate seminars and other activities of the Center for African American Studies.
Post Doctoral Fellows:
The Center for African American Studies at Princeton University invites applications from pre-tenure scholars and recent Ph.D. graduates in all disciplines for two postdoctoral fellowship positions. These fellowship positions will be awarded for the academic year 2010-2011 to emerging scholars who will devote their ten-month residency at Princeton to writing about race in the national or global contexts and, with the approval of the Dean of the Faculty, to teaching one semester-long undergraduate course. Fellows will hold a research appointment for the length of the 10-month fellowship period. During the semester in which they teach, we will appoint fellows who do not hold a continuing appointment elsewhere at the rank of lecturer. We will appoint fellows who are assistant professors on leave from another institution at the visiting assistant professor rank during the semester in which they teach.
