Call For Applications: Postdocs at Newcomb College Institute, Tulane University

The Newcomb College Institute of Tulane University seeks two postdoctoral
fellows in law and society. We seek applicants whose research takes an
intersectional approach to law and society, reflecting how gender, race,
class, disability, sexuality, ethnic, community, immigration status, and
national identities shape law and, in turn, how law shapes those
identities. We will consider applicants beginning in the Spring of 2019,
Summer of 2019 or Fall of 2019 for a single semester, a calendar year, or
for the 2019-2020 academic year for up to two years of support per person.
We prefer a two-year appointment, but are open to shorter terms.



The fellows will receive mentoring from senior faculty, participate in our
interdisciplinary community focused on intersectionality, and mentor
undergraduate student research assistants. We expect fellow to participate
in brown bag seminars, receptions, and other programming, mentor one or
more undergraduate research assistants, and help to organize a workshop in
the fall of the second year of the fellowship. We especially invite
applicants whose research and teaching interests focus on and/or contribute
to increased understanding of law, intersectionality, and identity in New
Orleans, Louisiana, and/or the Gulf Coast South, as well as those with a
demonstrated commitment to building interdisciplinary community.
