21st Century Diversity Postdoctoral Fellow - Department of Linguistics

The Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University invites applications for a 21st Century Postdoctoral Fellow. Recognizing the educational benefits of a diverse academic community, the aim of the fellowship, a new initiative of Georgetown University, is to encourage the development of a professoriate with backgrounds, expertise, and experiences that will assist in meeting the diverse challenges of the current century.

The fellowship has a two-year term, August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2022.  The primary expectation is that fellows will produce scholarly research and refine their research agenda, while gaining valuable teaching experience and building professional networks. The postdoctoral fellow will work with a department mentor to design and teach one undergraduate course on African American Language in each year of the fellowship. The fellow will be fully integrated into the intellectual life of the department, including department colloquia, research presentations, and professional mentoring. Fellows are expected to demonstrate a commitment to inclusive scholarship and to promoting cultural understanding and broader perspectives on the core problems of their discipline or interdisciplinary field.
