Provost's Postdoctoral Fellowship in Latinx politics
Job Description
The Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago invites applications for a Provost's Postdoctoral Fellowship in Latinx politics. While we are primarily interested in someone who studies Latinx politics within the United States, we welcome applications from scholars who also investigate these issues from a comparative or transnational perspective that includes a focus on the U.S. This fellowship provides up to two years of funding for junior scholars whose accomplishments make them exceptionally competitive for faculty positions and whose background or membership in historically underrepresented groups would contribute to the diversity of our faculty. Fellows will teach one course per year. At the end of the fellowship period and following an academic review, the Fellow may be directly promoted to a tenure-track assistant professorship.
Qualifications
Candidates must have completed all requirements for the PhD degree prior to the start of the appointment.
Application Instructions
Applicants must apply at the University of Chicago's Interfolio website at http://apply.interfolio.com/92395. Applications must include: 1) a cover letter that, among other things, describes the applicant's prior and potential contributions to diversity in the context of academic research, teaching, and service; 2) a curriculum vitae; 3) a research statement addressing current research and future plans for research; 4) a teaching statement addressing teaching experience and philosophy; 5) two samples of scholarly writing; and 6) three letters of reference. Consideration of applications will begin on September 16, 2021.
Equal Opportunity Statement
We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University's Statements on Diversity are available at https://provost.uchicago.edu/statements-diversity.
