Position Summary

The Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society ( CRRES )
at Indiana University, Bloomington, invites applications for a

CRRES Postdoctoral Fellowship . The fellowship provides
support to scholars studying race and ethnicity from a broad range
of fields in the social sciences and humanities. We are
particularly interested in candidates with disciplinary homes in
Criminology/Criminal Justice, Psychological and Brain Sciences, as
well as those in Anthropology with a focus on Human Biology. The
CRRES postdoctoral fellowship program aims to create a legacy of
scholars who will be positioned to address issues related to race
and ethnicity using a multidisciplinary lens. We welcome candidates
whose research intersects with African American and African
Diaspora Studies, Native American and Indigenous Studies, Latinx
Studies, and/or Asian American Studies. The Fellow is expected to
pursue research activities associated with their primary area of
work, as demonstrated by conference presentations and published
works. CRRES fellowships are designed to advance the careers of new
scholars by providing opportunities to research, teach, and connect
with mentors and with faculty in host departments. Strong
applicants will demonstrate evidence of scholarly potential that
will make them competitive for tenure-track appointments at Indiana
University and other research universities.

Terms of Agreement Fellows are expected to pursue research,
teach one course during each year of residency, and participate in
CRRES as well as host department activities and seminars. This
two-year position begins on August 1, 2027 and ends on May 31,
2029, at a 10-month annual salary of $60,000. Postdoctoral fellows
will also receive Indiana University health benefits and $3,000
each year in research support.
