Postdoctoral Fellowships in Critical Classical StudiesDez 09Montag, 09. Dezember 2024 15:55
The Department of Classics at Brown University
invites applications for two (2) two-year, non-renewable
Postdoctoral Fellowships in Critical Classical Studies
to begin July 1, 2025. We seek junior colleagues with terminal
degrees *(either Ph.D. or MFA) *whose work directly addresses the
classicization of the Ancient Greeks and Romans; critiques the structures
of power, exclusion, erasure, and violence that have scaffolded past and
present models of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies (i.e. Classics); and/or
speculates about alternative models to studying these ancient cultures and
others. Successful applicants will be appointed as Postdoctoral Research
Associates.
The Fellowship is *open to areas of research and creative practice not
traditionally housed within Ancient Greek and Roman Studies *(e.g. art,
film, creative writing, translation studies, political science, language
pedagogy, higher education studies, public humanities, museum studies,
indigenous studies, decolonial studies, performance or performance history,
music) *and to more traditional subfields *(e.g. art history, literary
studies/philology, archaeology, ancient history, philosophy, reception
studies). Ideal candidates position their work's intervention in relation
to other disciplines, fields, institutions, and/or industries. They
prioritize making contributions to academic, artistic, and/or activist
communities. The work can take the form of traditional scholarship (e.g.
monographs and articles)* or be pedagogical, public-facing, creative, or
otherwise trans/inter/extra-disciplinary*.
The fellows selected in this competition will join fellows
<https://www.brown.edu/academics/classics/people/scholars-fellows> already
in residence and form a community committed to refining methodologies well
established at Brown and in the field as well as to co-developing new
approaches to Ancient Greek and Roman cultures.
Brown University seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce to
maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly
varied disciplines, perspectives, viewpoints, and ways of knowing,
learning, and creating. Therefore, the Department of Classics particularly
welcomes applications from members of groups that have been minoritized and
underrepresented in academia. A required application form asks every
applicant to summarize their approach to and experience in creating
equitable, diverse, and inclusive communities. This history might include
academic teaching, mentoring, and service, activism, or other forms of
community engagement and leadership.
In lieu of formal teaching responsibilities, fellows will be given the time
and support necessary to complete their projects during the fellowship
term and to share those projects with communities on and off-campus. Each
fellow should expect to host one departmental event (e.g. lecture,
symposium, performance, screening) and one informal event (e.g. workshop,
interview, open rehearsal, table read, write-on-site) that prioritize
graduate students in the Department of Classics each academic year. They
will also participate in regular cohort-building and mentoring activities.
Each fellow will earn a salary of $65,000 in year 1 and $70,000 in year 2.
In addition to a full benefits package, each fellow will receive a research
fund of $10,000 and access to a shared office space. Fellows are expected
to be in residence for the full term of the fellowship and, if applicable,
will receive a $3,000 moving allowance to ease the burden of relocation.
