The Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society ( CRRES ) at Indiana University, Bloomington, invites applications for a CRRES Postdoctoral Fellowship
. 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 Criminology/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 American 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.

Terms of Agreement Fellows are expected to pursue research, teach one course during each year of residency, and participate in CRRES as well as host department activities and seminars. This two-year position begins on August 1, 2027 and ends on May 31, 2029, at a 10-month annual salary of $60,000. Postdoctoral fellows will also receive Indiana University health benefits and $3,000 each year in research support.
