Job description:
The Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs ranks among the top 15 professional schools of public affairs at public universities in the country; our program concentration in nonprofit management ranks fifth in the nation.
The Institute is widely recognized for its role in examining public issues and shaping public policy at the local, state, national, and international levels, and for providing leadership and management expertise to public and nonprofit organizations.
The program on Race, Gender and Public Policy explores new frontiers of knowledge in the intersection of race, gender and public policy. It promotes scholarship on race and public policy and gender and public policy that would benefit from cross-disciplinary discussion and would contribute to the development of new ideas and tools for both policy arenas, as well as helping develop a synthetic understanding of the intersection of race and gender. The program encourages scholars interested in issues of race, gender and public policy to bring their discipline-related knowledge to a common discussion of race, gender and public policy.
Employment responsibilities:
The Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs has an opening for a Postdoctoral Program in Race, Gender and Public Policy Research Associate.
In addition to writing and research in the area of race and gender, candidates will be expected to teach one graduate seminar in their area of specialty focusing on race, gender and public policy and/or a masters-level course on social policy; consult widely with race, gender and policy researchers around the University and participate in a seminar on public policy, race and gender.
Salary/Benefits: An annual stipend of $50,000 plus fringe benefits is provided.
Essential qualifications:
Ph.D. must have been received within the last six years, or defended no later than fellowship start date.
Preferred qualifications:
Applicants should be broadly trained in the social or behavioral sciences or allied fields and must have a demonstrated commitment to investigating the relationship between their disciplines and race, gender, and public policy.
Appointment details:
