The Gender Research Institute at Dartmouth (GRID) welcomes applications for a postdoctoral fellowship to begin in Fall 2015 for a two-year appointment (Sept 2015-June 2017).
In year one of the fellowship, GRID Postdoctoral Fellows work closely with the planning of the GRID Research Seminar.  This is a 6-8 week seminar held during spring term on an interdisciplinary topic with a gender focus.  Dartmouth Professor Aimee Bahng will direct the Spring 2016 seminar, “Gender Matters: Feminist Ecologies and Materialities.” Applicants for the fellowship may be from any academic discipline, provided that their research has a strong gender-related emphasis and bears a direct relation to the topic of the seminar.  Please visit our website for more information on “Gender Matters.  While scholars at any stage of their career are eligible, we especially encourage applications from recent recipients of the Ph.D. or equivalent degree, especially scholars with strong theoretical expertise and interdisciplinary training.
The Gender Research Institute is Dartmouth College’s flagship center for interdisciplinary gender-based research.  The Institute’s mission is to promote and support gender-based research by providing a productive meeting ground where academics, teachers, community leaders, and scholar-activists from across the globe come together with the Dartmouth community at large to address issues of profound social relevance.  This is highlighted in our most important annual event, our spring seminar.  Recent topics have been “Seeds of Change: Gender, Scholarship, and Social Change” (Spring 2013), “Times of Crisis” (Spring 2014), and “Just Words-Free Speech and Social Change” (upcoming Spring 2015).
In addition to their work with the faculty leader, postdoctoral fellows will also be required to teach one class during their first year in residence, WGST 96: Advanced Research in Women’s and Gender Studies, an experimental course that runs parallel to the GRID seminar for interested students.  In year two, postdoctoral fellows will be expected to serve as liaisons and mentors for the incoming postdoctoral fellow, help with the editing of a publication with the research of the seminar participants, serve as support for the new research seminar, and conduct their own research.
The appointed fellow will receive an annual stipend of $55,000 plus benefits, an annual research allowance of $2,000, a first-year computer allowance of $2500, and enjoy full use of library research resources.  Dartmouth College provides numerous college-wide forums for interdisciplinary conversations and supports a solid cohort of postdoctoral fellowships in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

Deadline: Applications for the 2015-17 fellowship must be received on or before December 10, 2014.  Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.  Please submit: (1) a letter of application outlining your research, objectives for the postdoctoral fellowship years, and teaching experience; (2) a CV; (3) a writing sample; and (4) two letters of support to Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/23884.
