The Center for Place, Culture and Politics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) announces a post-doctoral position for academic year 2014-2015, pending budgetary approval, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. We seek applicants who work on issues related to the theme "After Debt," in the context of a general concern for understanding processes of uneven geographical development at different scales.
The Center, established in 2000, is interdisciplinary and strives to provide an intellectual forum for the discussion of a wide range of vital contemporary issues. Each academic year, faculty and graduate student fellows from different disciplines explore a specific theme at the Center through a weekly seminar. The Center also hosts prominent national and international scholars and activists who have done significant work related to the theme and invites distinguished outside lecturers to present their work. Over the past several years the Center has sought to work more closely with urban social movements in New York City and beyond on the theme of The Right to the City.
The role of the post-doctoral fellow (Visiting Assistant Professor) is integral to the yearly running of the Center. In addition to conducting their own research, the post-doc will be expected to attend and contribute to the weekly seminar at the Center and support other Center initiatives, such as promotion of conferences and symposia. The duties of the post-doc will also include active involvement with the Right to the City initiative. During the year the fellow may be invited to offer one graduate level course on a topic of their own choosing.
