Zemurray-Stone Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Latin American Studies
The Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University, which includes a core community of 70+ faculty across a broad spectrum of disciplinary and professional fields, invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship for the 2024-2025 academic year.
The Zemurray-Stone Post-Doctoral Fellows in Latin American Studies are intended to foster the professional development of gifted scholars and specialists to enrich the Stone Center for Latin American Studies’ vigorous research environment, and to foster creative exchange across the Center's research community. We seek candidates engaged in scholarly or creative work on topics related to existing areas of institutional strength. Fellows are expected to participate in the full intellectual life of the Center, to sit on various Center subcommittees, and to contribute to the conceptualization and development of innovative projects and events during their residency. Fellows sometimes offer a class or seminar or participate in the planning of Center conferences during their fellowship year. The post-doctoral fellowship is for one-year with the possibility of renewal for an additional year.
We welcome applications from scholars and practitioners working in the fields of media, sound, and cultural studies who address transnational approaches, the study of modes and genres, the interface of film history and theory, and the centrality of intermediality and affective modes for the production and circulation of media in the Americas. These were areas and frameworks pioneered by the late Professor Ana M. López at Tulane. Fellowships are one-year, residential, full-time appointments with a stipend of $48,940 and benefits. Travel and moving expenses are not supported. Applicants who are ABD must complete their Ph.D. by May 2024.
