Deadline: January 15, 2014

The Sexualities Project at Northwestern (SPAN) invites applicatio=
ns 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 s=
tudy sexuality from a social science perspective (broadly construed). Each =
Fellow’s appointment will be in the Gender & Sexuality Studies Pr=
ogram and may also be in a department in Northwestern’s
Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. We are particularly interested in c=
andidates whose work falls within one or more of the following fields: Afri=
can-American Studies, Anthropology, Communication Studies, Economics, Histo=
ry, Linguistics, Performance Studies,
Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, or Sociology. That is, t=
he Fellow must have relevant expertise in both sexuality studies and anothe=
r substantive field, and must be prepared to teach courses that reflect tha=
t expertise.

Fellows will pursue a program of independent scholarship under th=
e guidance of a faculty mentor and will teach two undergraduate courses eac=
h year (typically one seminar and one
lecture course) over the course of the three-quarter-long teaching year. F=
ellows will also be expected to be active participants in SPAN’s comm=
unity of faculty and graduate students and, as applicable, in their affilia=
ted department by attending talks and
events. Finally, they will assist in the organization of on-campus educati=
onal activities such as an annual SPAN workshop.
