THE PROGRAM IN LATINO/A STUDIES IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH (LSGS) INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR A ONE-YEAR POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP, RENEWABLE FOR A SECOND YEAR, TO BEGIN IN AUGUST 2017.
LSGS seeks interdisciplinary scholars with a comparative, innovative, and transnational approach, trained and solidly grounded in U.S. Latino and Latina History. Research interests may include any––or a combination––of the following areas: historical agency and memory; ethnoracial formations; gender and sexuality; citizenship; empire; migration; hemispheric studies; and related topics. LSGS is particularly interested in scholars who move beyond traditional studies of communities bounded by a singular national origin.
The successful candidate will receive a salary of $47,000, plus benefits; teach two courses per year; pursue research; and participate in the development of public and intellectual programming in Latino/a Studies at Duke. To receive full consideration, please submit the following application materials:
- letter of intent;
- curriculum vitae;
- research proposal;
- outline of possible course offerings;
- statement of possible programmatic initiatives or collaborations while at Duke;
- article-length writing sample;

- three confidential letters of recommendation by 28 February 2017.
