Northeastern University’s Africana Studies Program is pleased to invite applications and nominations for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Black Feminist Studies to begin on July 1, 2022. This is a two-year residential appointment. Candidates must have completed all requirements for the PhD prior to the start of the appointment.

The fellow will be jointly appointed with the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern.

Special consideration will be given to candidates with expertise in Black queer studies and/or the digital humanities. The postdoctoral fellow will have access to mentors, and research centers and will have one writing workshop presentation and session with faculty. Africana Studies is an interdisciplinary program with a mission of teaching and conducting research in social sciences and humanities fields on the historical and contemporary experiences across the local and global African Diaspora. Recent hires in Africana Studies at Northeastern have resulted in a vibrant community of Black feminist scholars in the fields of history, religion, anthropology, and literary studies making this an especially exciting moment for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Black Feminist Studies to join us.

Fellows receive funding for two years. Postdoctoral fellows will teach one course during the first year, two courses in the second year. The salary will be $65,000 per year, with a research fund of $5,000.

A Ph.D. is required by the appointment start date. Specialization may be in any area of Africana Studies in disciplines of social sciences or humanities, with a clear commitment to feminist interdisciplinary work. We welcome textual, theoretical, or empirical projects in any field or period that engage questions at the intersection of Africana Studies and feminism, gender, and sexuality.
