Assistant Professor/Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The University of Michigan Society of Fellows is seeking applications for a three-year postdoctoral fellowship designed to foster an interdisciplinary intellectual community. Fellows will hold dual appointments as both Assistant Professors within an affiliated university department and Postdoctoral Scholars within the Society of Fellows. This non-tenure-track position offers scholars the opportunity to refine both teaching and research skills while engaging with a diverse group of academic peers. Responsibilities include participating in monthly colloquia and society dinners, where fellows present their work and engage in intellectual discussions with peers and senior members. The teaching commitment involves instructing the equivalent of one academic year, distributed across two terms over the three-year period. Additionally, fellows will participate in evaluating new fellowship applicants and serve as evaluators for the Distinguished Dissertations Awards.

This fellowship provides a platform for significant research development, encouraging fellows to broaden the impact of their work by integrating interdisciplinary perspectives. Candidates must have completed their doctoral degree prior to the fellowship and show potential for excellence in research and teaching, with an ability to engage across disciplines. The appointment lasts for three years, and any future role at the University of Michigan will adhere to the university's standard appointment procedures. The university values diversity and inclusivity, encouraging applications from individuals who will contribute to this diverse academic community.
