Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sexuality Studies (Social Scientific Approaches)
Northwestern University
Deadline: January 15, 2014
The Sexualities Project at Northwestern (SPAN) invites applications for two-year postdoctoral fellowships in sexuality studies, to run from September 1, 2014 through August 31, 2016. 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 in Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. We are particularly interested
in candidates whose work falls within one or more of the following fields: African-American Studies, Anthropology, Communication Studies, Economics, History, Linguistics, Performance Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, or Sociology.
That is, the Fellow must have relevant expertise in both sexuality studies and another substantive field, 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. Finally, they will assist in the organization of on-campus educational activities
such as an annual SPAN workshop.
In order to ensure full consideration, all application materials must be received by
January 15, 2014. Important additional information including salary, prerequisites, FAQs, and submission instructions appears on our website at
http://www.sexualities.northwestern.edu/fundingopportunities/postdocapplications.html. Administrative questions not addressed on the webpage should be directed to

From UCSF Professor Bill Woods:
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) New Connections Program
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) New Connections: Increasing Diversity of RWJF Programming aims to expand the diversity of perspectives that inform RWJF programming and introduce new researchers and scholars to the Foundation to help address research
and evaluation needs. The program invites Junior Investigators — scholars from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities who have received their doctorate within the last 10 years — to address RWJF program priorities. Preference is given
to applicants with full-time appointments at colleges and universities.
Eligible scholars include individuals from ethnic or racial minority or low-income communities, first-generation college graduates (i.e., the first person in one’s family to receive a two- or four- year college degree), and others who historically have been
underrepresented in research disciplines. The New Connections program is open to applicants from any group that has been historically disadvantaged or underrepresented in research disciplines. This includes, but is not limited to, individuals from ethnic and
racial minorities historically underrepresented in research disciplines. It also includes persons of all races and ethnicity who come from groups that have historically been disadvantaged or underrepresented in research disciplines, such as first - generation
college graduates and people from low-income communities. These examples are intended to be illustrative, not exclusive. Applicants who do not fall within one of these categories but who believe they are from a historically disadvantaged or underrepresented
background will have an opportunity to describe their individual circumstances as part of the online application process.
