The Department African Diaspora Studies invites applications for a two-year Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship beginning Fall 2026. Eligible candidates must have received their terminal degree no earlier in 2023 or later. We seek interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary scholars whose work centers the experiences, histories, ideas, and creativity of people of African descent across the globe. Candidates must hold a
terminal degree with significant coursework in Critical Black Studies/Africana Studies. Applicants should demonstrate significant promise in teaching, research, and contributions to community, as well as a strong commitment to theorizing from and/or centering Africana, Black, and African-descended perspectives. The annual teaching load for the Fellow is two courses per year (one per semester). The Fellow also will be
expected to share their research with the Grinnell community and to be a contributing member of the African Diaspora Studies Department faculty.
