The African and African American Studies (AFAS) program at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications from recent Ph.D. graduates in the humanities and social sciences for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship, with the option to apply for a second-year renewal. The fellowship is intended to assist junior scholars whose research focuses on topics related to Africa, African Americans, and/or the African Diaspora in furthering their careers by providing them with opportunities for mentorship, advancing their research, and enhancing their teaching.
AFAS postdoctoral fellows are provided a competitive stipend, support for research and research-related travel, office space, and computer equipment. They will also receive a reduced teaching load, teaching one course a semester based on their scholarly area of expertise and with the approval of the AFAS curriculum committee or the Director. In addition, Fellows will participate in the intellectual life of the AFAS program and University by giving and attending public lectures, mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, and participating in program activities. The fellowships begin July 1, 2013 and extend until June 30, 2014.
The search committee will continue to review applications until the positions are filled, but priority will be given to applications received by February 15, 2013.
Further details about the postdoctoral fellowship can be found on the AFAS website http://afas.wustl.edu/postdoc, and inquiries regarding the fellowship should be made by e-mail to afas@artsci.wustl.edu
