2025–2027 Chloe Center Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism is pleased to announce a new two-year postdoctoral fellowship. Review of applications will begin on March 1, 2025.

Chloe Center Postdoctoral Fellowship Description

The Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism is an academic program exploring the historical and contemporary intersections of empire, migration, and racial hierarchy. It hosts programming both on and off the Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus and serves as home to a new undergraduate major, Critical Diaspora Studies.

The Chloe Center invites scholars conversant in ethnic studies and its adjacent disciplines in the humanities and social sciences to apply for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship, 2025–2027.

The postdoctoral fellowship, beginning on July 1, 2025, will support recent doctoral degree recipients (Ph.D. awarded no earlier than January 1, 2021) whose scholarship engages with questions and topics directly related to the Chloe Center’s mission.

The Chloe Center remains committed to analyzing institutional racism and probing connections among areas too often considered separately from one another, connections created by entangled histories of migration, colonialism, and social movements. The Center thus seeks scholars whose work moves beyond singular identitarian modes of knowledge production to study the overlaps, solidarities, and dissonances between geographical and cultural areas of study—such as Asian-American, African diaspora, Indigenous studies, and Latinx studies. The fellow will engage actively JHU’s interdisciplinary community of scholars, graduate students, and undergraduate students, as well as members of the wider public in Baltimore. We seek, especially, candidates interested in extending their research and public engagement in new directions in partnership and mentorship with Chloe Center faculty.

The fellow will carry out their own research and contribute to organizing campus and public-facing events. Over two years, the fellow will teach no more than five undergraduate courses in the Critical Diaspora Studies major. The fellow will also be invited to participate regularly in Chloe Center and other campus programming.

The Critical Diaspora Studies major consists of four tracks: Migration and Borders; Global Indigeneities; Empires, Wars, and Carceralities; and Solidarities, Social Movements, and Citizenship. The major emphasizes community-engaged learning and comparative and transnational methods. It was primarily envisioned by student activists. Scholars whose work engages with the Critical Diaspora Studies tracks of Global Indigeneities or Migration and Borders are particularly encouraged to apply.

Compensation

Fellows will be appointed for two years and will receive an annual stipend of $70,000, health insurance, and modest moving and research budgets. 

Application

To apply, please provide a cover letter outlining a research and teaching agenda, a CV, a chapter- or article-length writing sample, and two course overviews (title, level/type of course, and one paragraph description), as well as the names and contact information for two references.

Submit applications at Interfolio. Applications received by March 1, 2025, will receive the best consideration.

The Institute for Social Research Population Studies Center

PSC Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Population Studies Center has a vibrant interdisciplinary group of postdoctoral fellows. Our fellows benefit from fruitful relationships with PSC faculty mentors and programming designed to provide training in population science perspectives and methods, exposure to interdisciplinary scholarship, and continued development of scholarly independence. Our postdoctoral fellows have been very productive in the program, have found excellent positions, and have built successful careers after their training at Michigan.

Our fellowships are supported by federal National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants awarded to the PSC from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA).

Our program accepts applications each fall (September-December), for fellowships beginning the following fall. Fellowships provide health insurance, stipends to support living expenses, and supplemental childcare support. Fellows devote most of their time to independent research. Positions offer exceptional opportunities for collaboration at the Institute for Social Research on major projects in the U.S. and overseas. The term of fellowship appointment will be for two years, contingent on continued funding. Stipend will be commensurate with experience, based on levels mandated by NIH.

NIH has stated that their ability to help ensure that the nation remains a global leader in scientific discovery and innovation is dependent upon a pool of highly talented scientists from diverse backgrounds who will further NIH’s mission. We encourage applications from US citizens and Permanent Residents who are training grant-eligible and who come from underrepresented backgrounds including African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders, persons with a disability, or individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
