City College of New York-CUNY: Postdoctoral Fellowship in American Institutions and Political Thought
The Hamilton Initiative at The City College of New York-CUNY invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in American Institutions and Political Thought, beginning in the Fall of 2022.
Housed in the Department of Political Science, the Hamilton Initiative seeks to encourage serious and open engagement with the United States’ place in Western political and philosophic tradition. While the position is open with respect to research areas, the department is particularly interested in candidates able to teach courses that connect American politics and institutions to the Western canon of political thought. The teaching load will be two courses per academic year, on topics to be agreed with the Department Chair based on the Fellow’s expertise and the Department’s needs. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also be expected to participate actively in the Hamilton Initiative’s activities and contribute to its administration as needed.
The position is for a duration of one academic year. Salaries are competitive and commensurate to living costs in New York City. A Ph.D. (in hand by the beginning of the 2022-23 academic year) is a required qualification.
