The CRRES Postdoctoral Scholars Program is a fellowship program that aims to create a legacy of scholars who will be positioned to address broad issues related to race and ethnicity using a multidisciplinary lens. These two-year fellowships are designed to nurture the academic careers of new scholars by allowing them the opportunity to pursue their research while gaining mentored experience as teachers, CRRES fellows, and members of the faculty in host departments.
The fellowship provides support to scholars studying race and ethnicity from a broad range of fields in the social sciences and humanities. We are particularly interested in candidates with disciplinary homes in Sociology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, and Geography. The CRRES postdoctoral fellowship program aims to create a legacy of scholars who will be positioned to address issues related to race and ethnicity using a multidisciplinary lens. We welcome candidates whose research intersects with African American and African Diaspora Studies, Native and Indigenous Studies, Latine Studies, and/or Asian American Studies.
The Fellow is expected to pursue research activities associated with their primary area of work, as demonstrated by conference presentations and published works. CRRES fellowships are designed to advance the careers of new scholars by providing opportunities to research, teach, and connect with mentors and with faculty in host departments. Strong applicants will demonstrate evidence of scholarly potential that will make them competitive for tenure-track appointments at Indiana University and other research universities.
CRRES is currently hosting three postdoctoral scholars, chosen through a competitive national search. These scholars are conducting cutting-edge research on race and ethnicity in Anthropology, Media, and Counseling and Educational Psychology. The fellows have access to a community of scholars at IU and are also a part of a mentoring program facilitated by CRRES and sponsoring departments.
