The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the School of Arts and Sciences at Brandeis University invites applications for the two-year Helaine B. Allen and Cynthia L. Berenson Postdoctoral Fellowship at the rank of Lecturer beginning in the academic year 2025-2026. We invite applicants who work at the intersections of Native/Indigenous Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Additional areas of specialization are open, but could include Black studies, ethnic studies, decolonial theory, disability studies, environmental studies, and/or dance/performance studies. The successful candidate should demonstrate an active and ongoing engagement with Native/Indigenous histories, epistemologies, political articulations, artistic expressions, and/or theoretical traditions.

Candidates must have completed their Ph.D. and start their fellowship by August 2025. Duties include teaching one course each semester in the candidate’s specialty and in the above-stated fields. The Fellow will receive a salary of $64,000 plus benefits. The position comes with research funds and assistance for relocation and initial housing expenses.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, names and contact information for three referees, and a sample of scholarly work as it relates to this position. Only online applications will be accepted. Application materials may be uploaded here: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29110.
