School of Transborder Studies-Postdoctoral Scholars (Job 11453)
Arizona State University’s School of Transborder Studies (STS) at the Tempe campus is accepting applications fortwo postdoctoral scholars for the 2016-2017 academic year. STS is the home to an interdisciplinary faculty focused on the theoretical and empirical examination of transborder processes and communities. STS approaches transborder studies in a way that has been historically grounded in and inspired by the geographical specificity of the U.S.-Mexico border. The program is now expanding to examine other transborder regions. Our areas of concentration include: community development and health; immigration and economic policy; history; media and cultural expression; culture, language and learning; sustainability; and questions of identity and representation of transborder Latina/o subjects including gender, immigration status, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. This approach is unique among U.S. universities and an emerging field of study globally. Both the interdisciplinary scholarship and the location of STS in the Phoenix metropolitan area, which has growing immigrant populations representing countries from Africa, Latin America, and Asia, make the School an ideal place to study transborder issues.
The goal of the postdoctoral program is to provide opportunities for junior scholars to develop research in the area of transborder studies, gain valuable teaching experience, and benefit from professional development. We invite applications from scholars in the social sciences or humanities whose research focuses on the U.S- Mexico border and/or any transborder region of the world. Through our new, long-term research and outreach initiative, the Program for Transborder Communities, postdoctoral scholars will have the opportunity to share their research in a collegial setting.
The start date is August 2016 and this will be a 9-month appointment, with a competitive salary and benefits. Please see the attached job description for additional details including job qualifications and instructions to apply.
Applications are due on January 25, 2016.
Kindly share with your networks.
