Job Description:
Budget Title: Postdoctoral Associate
Salary: $45,000
The Journal of Women's History and the Binghamton University History Department welcome applications for its postdoctoral fellowship exploring the intersections of gender and global history, beginning in the fall of 2016. During the one-year in-residence appointment, the successful applicant will teach one course per semester and offer a university-wide public lecture, with the remaining time devoted to scholarly research and writing. After satisfying peer review requirements, the revised talk will be published in the Journal. The stipend is $45,000, plus benefits.
The search committee encourages candidates whose research explores the embodied histories of the global past, considering women as historical subjects as well as gender and sexuality as historical systems. We are especially interested in scholars whose spatial framework transcends national borders to focus on the movement of gendered bodies in transnational arenas, whether through migration, trafficking, travel, imperial politics, slavery, or other processes of exchange.
The postdoctoral fellow will join a vibrant community of scholars working on women, gender, and sexuality at Binghamton University, which has a long tradition of supporting scholarship in this field. In 1974, history faculty created one of the first Ph.D. programs in women's history in the United States. Binghamton University also houses the Center for the Historical Study of Women and Gender and in 2010, became the editorial home of the Journal of Women's History. The award-winning JWH, the first journal devoted exclusively to the international field of women's history, promotes comparative and transnational approaches to the history of gender, sexuality, and women's experiences. Through its joint Postdoctoral Fellowship, the editors at Binghamton University support the research and publication endeavors of junior scholars.
