New hires are required to provide documentation showing full
vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or
Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before

Move, a multi-institution digital history project
based at Cornell, seeks a two-year postdoctoral associate to join a team that
is building a free and open digital archive of all extant North American “runaway
slave” ads. A successful candidate will bring subject-relevant expertise in
areas such as the history of marronage, Black resistance, freedom-seeking,
and/or racialized policing. Research methodologies may include humanistic
approaches to GIS (Geographic Information Systems); digital humanities, or other
relevant approaches. Working with FOTM leadership, the post-doc
will contribute to the continued growth of the project. In addition, the post-doc will be expected to:
1) advance their research program; 2) teach one class per academic year in a
relevant discipline, and 3) help manage and mentor graduate students working
for FOTM. Responsibility, initiative, and the ability to
work collaboratively are essential. This is a full-time, 12-month academic
position which is eligible for reappointment and offers a competitive salary and
benefits package. The position starts at the beginning of academic year
2022-2023 (July 1, 2023.) Candidates should submit the following materials
for consideration via AJO by March 15, 2022 for full
consideration.
