Candidates must have received the PhD by June 30, 2009 and not before September 1, 2006. They must demonstrate successful teaching experience and an interesting and exciting research agenda. Fellows will be assigned to one of five departments within the School of Liberal Arts: English, French and Italian, History, Philosophy, or Spanish and Portuguese. Depending on their field of expertise, they will teach courses that can be cross-listed with one or more of four interdisciplinary programs: African and African Diaspora Studies, American Studies, Asian Studies, and Jewish Studies. The teaching load will be one course per semester, with the remainder of the fellows’ time devoted to strengthening their research profiles. Fellows will not teach basic introductory courses, but rather mid- and upper-level classes in their own areas of expertise. Fellows must be in residence at Tulane during the tenure of their fellowship. Preference may be given to applicants who intend to make use of Tulane’s and New Orleans’ rich cultural and archival resources, such as the Amistad Research Center, the Hogan Jazz Archive, the Newcomb Center for Research on Women, the Southeastern Architectural Archive, the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Louisiana State Museum, and the New Orleans Public Library. The stipend is $45,900 per year, with some funding also available for research and travel.
