Pomona College Scholar in Residence

Pomona College seeks applications for the Pomona College Scholar-in-Residence Pre- or Postdoctoral Fellowship, generously funded by Fred and Dorothy Chau. The Pomona College Scholar-in-Residence Pre- or Postdoctoral Fellowship is a two-year position that starts July 1, 2027. Fellows teach two courses per year (one each semester) and are also responsible for public presentations. The Fellowship stipend is $77,000, includes $3000 in research or conference funds each year of the fellowship, and eligibility for some benefits, such as health and dental insurance.

The Pomona College Scholar-in-Residence Program welcomes applications from emerging scholars in the humanities and social sciences (specifically, in disciplines represented at Pomona). For this year's call, the College is especially interested in scholars who are poised to make critical interventions in humanities and social science disciplines by offering courses that expand curricula and whose research expertise includes perspectives from historically marginalized communities.

At Pomona College, cultivating an inclusive classroom through discussions, experimentation, creative expression, dialogue, experiential learning, and methodological exploration, is a criterion for all reviews of teaching.

Located in southern California, Pomona College is a selective liberal arts college with an enrollment of approximately 1700 undergraduate students and is a founding member of the Claremont Colleges, which include Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, Keck Graduate Institute and Claremont Graduate University. Collectively, The Claremont Colleges constitute an academic community of 9,000 students. As a result, Pomona students enjoy both the personalized instruction and close faculty-student interactions afforded by a small liberal arts college as well as the intellectual and extracurricular resources typically found at larger universities.

In collaboration with the Claremont Colleges Consortium, Pomona College offers a variety of professional development, mentorship, and networking opportunities for fellows. You may find more information, including eligibility requirements, and the link to the application on our website.

Employment is contingent upon providing proof of the legal right to work in the United States as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 for the duration of the contract, July 1, 2027 until June 30, 2029.
