Postdoctoral Fellowships

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. During this year’s
search (AY2026-27), we are particularly interested in candidates with disciplinary
homes in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Psychological and Brain
Sciences, as well as those in Anthropology with a focus on Human Biology. 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,
Latinx 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.
