The Rutgers Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience seeks a recent Ph.D. in the humanities or social sciences to serve as the fourth Geraldine R. Dodge Fellow at the Institute during academic year 2004-2005. Located in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers-Newark, the Institute is an interdisciplinary program that sponsors scholarly programming for the general public, encourages interracial and multi-cultural understanding, and serves as a hub for the promotion of research and collegial discussion on the social construction of ethnicity and race in modern societies.
The Dodge Fellow will provide administrative and programmatic assistance in the development of the Institute's short and long-range initiatives in public scholarship, particularly its efforts to bring prominent scholars into the public sphere and promote Rutgers' humanitarian service to community based organizations. Current Institute programs include: * The annual Marion Thompson Wright Lecture, held during Black History Month on the Rutgers-Newark campus for the past 23 years * On-campus programs that inform and stimulate discourse on race and ethnicity, including an on-going faculty colloquium * Community-based lectures and forums Such as City Children and their Cultures and The Gustav Heningburg Civic Fellows that enhance the cultural literacy of local citizens of Metropolitan Newark. The Dodge Fellow will be expected to make contributions to the new scholarship on race and ethnicity and to share her or his work with local communities. This post-doctoral fellowship is supported by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation which "seeks to be an enabler, backing persons, ideas, and institutions who serve a purpose that transcends self-interest and may contribute to sustain human society and the environment which sustains it." Qualifications include an earned Ph.D., an interest in public scholarship, an ability to work across academic disciplines, and an active engagement in scholarship deserving of publication. The post-doctoral fellowship is for the academic year 2004-2005, with a possible renewal for a second year. Fellows will receive an annual salary of $40,000, and a modest stipend for research materials and/or related conference travel. Rutgers University also offers liberal personal benefits, including comprehensive medical and dental plans. An office, computer, and access to University resources are available.
