Job Description:
Budget Title: Postdoctoral Associate (SL-1)
Salary: $80,000 (full-time, temporary)
As part of the SUNY initiative Promoting Recruitment, Opportunity, Diversity, Inclusion and Growth Plus (PRODiG+) Fellowship, the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Binghamton University invites applications from scholars of Afro-Latinx literature, culture, or linguistics whose research examines the intersections of race, gender, class, and language. We welcome applicants whose expertise centers on the Caribbean and Latin American regions and the diverse cultural and linguistic traditions of Afro-descendant communities. While the hire will teach courses in the Spanish Division, candidates whose research engages Afro-Lusophone communities or Luso-Hispanic Creoles are especially encouraged to apply. We seek a scholar whose work is not only innovative but also readily integrated into the Spanish-language classroom for both second-language learners and heritage speakers, many of whom are of Caribbean descent. The successful candidate will contribute to expanding the curricular offerings of the Department through courses that engage critical scholarship on the histories, cultures, literatures, languages, and pedagogies of Afro-descent communities across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States.
About PRODiG+ Postdoctoral Fellowship
This is a two-year fellowship. During this period, the fellow will have a teaching load of one course per year and will be expected to prioritize productivity in scholarship. The goal is conversion to a tenure track position in the Department of Romance languages and Literatures at the completion of the fellowship. Following conversion, the teaching load will be the usual tenure track load of two courses per semester.
The PRODiG+ Fellowship is designed with two primary goals: (1) increasing the number and share of excellent and diverse faculty committed to advancing the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and (2) strengthening the pathway for retention and support of these candidates. This Fellowship is for a 12-month appointment for two years (AY27-AY29). The fellow will collaborate with faculty members and receive enhanced support and mentorship.
