Postdoctoral Fellowships

2011-12 Postdoctoral Fellows

2012-13 Pembroke Center Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Pembroke Center annually supports three or four postdoctoral research fellows in residence for an academic year. Candidates who do work that is qualitative and humanistic in nature are drawn from the humanities, the social sciences, and the life sciences. Fellows may not hold a tenured position. The Center has an annual research focus.

We welcome applications from scholars from any field. Candidates are selected on the basis of their scholarly potential and the relevance of their work to the research theme. Recipients must have a PhD and may not hold a tenured position. This is a residential fellowship. Fellows participate weekly in the Pembroke Seminar, teach one undergraduate course, and pursue individual research. Brown University is an EEO/AA employer. The Center strongly encourages underrepresented minority scholars to apply. The term of appointment is July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013. The stipend is $50,000, plus a supplement for health and dental insurance if coverage is needed.

Please submit online application and recommendation letters to reach us by December 8, 2011. Selections will be announced in March.
Questions should be directed to Donna_Goodnow@brown.edu or phone 401-863-2643.

The 2012-13 application period is now closed.
Thank you for your interest.

Submitted applications must include:

Project statement of five typed pages
Representative bibliography
Curriculum vitae
Course proposal with a sample reading list*
Three recommendation letters, sent via email or hard copy

*The course should be designed as an undergraduate seminar, meeting twice a week. The topic need not intersect with the seminar theme. It should be related to your own discipline and training. It would be listed in Gender and Sexuality Studies and should involve in some way questions of gender and/or sexuality, though those need not be the primary focus.
