Description:

The Sexualities Project at Northwestern (SPAN) invites applications for
two-year post- doctoral fellowships in sexuality studies, to run from
September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2022. Two Fellows will be selected.
Applications are welcome from scholars who study sexuality from a social
science perspective (broadly construed). Each Fellow’s appointment will be in
the Gender & Sexuality Studies Program and may also be in a department at
Northwestern. We are interested in candidates who could affiliate with one of
the following participating departments: African-American Studies,
Anthropology, Communication Studies, History, Human Development and Social
Policy, Linguistics, Performance Studies, Political Science, Psychology,
Religious Studies, or Sociology. That is, the Fellow must have relevant
expertise in both sexuality studies and one of the listed substantive fields,
and must be prepared to teach courses that reflect that expertise.

Fellows will pursue a program of independent scholarship under the guidance of
a faculty mentor and will teach two undergraduate courses each year (typically
one seminar and one lecture course) over the course of the three-quarter-long
teaching year. Fellows will also be expected to be active participants in
SPAN’s community of faculty and graduate students and, as applicable, in their
affiliated department by attending talks and events, and by giving a public
talk once each year. Finally, they will assist in the organization of
on-campus educational activities such as an annual SPAN workshop.

Applicants with a Ph.D. (or equivalent doctoral degree) must have completed it
after September 1, 2015. Applicants without a Ph.D. (or equivalent doctoral
degree) must complete all the requirements for the degree before September 1,
2020. At time of application, the applicant must be available for the full
two-year term. The stipend is $60,000 in the first year of the fellowship. In
addition, the Fellow is eligible for $3,500 per year to fund research and
conference travel, and up to $1,500 for allowable relocation expenses in the
first year. Up to $1,000 is also available for allowable travel expenses for
an area visit prior to the start of the postdoc term. This is a full-time,
benefits eligible position.

All application materials other than letters of recommendation must be
received by December 2, 2019. Letters of recommendation are due no later than
December 9, 2019. Because your references will not receive submission
instructions until you submit your completed application, we recommend that
you submit your application well before the deadline.

Administrative questions should be directed to Cassilyn Ostrander at the
application link provided below. Substantive questions not addressed below may
be sent to the co-directors of SPAN, Héctor Carrillo (hector at northwestern.edu)
and Gregory Ward (gw at northwestern.edu). For more information about departments
or programs at Northwestern, see
