Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility, as part of The New School, is pleased to announce a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship for the 2025-2027 academic years. This is an ideal opportunity for recent Ph.D. graduates to join a leading teaching, research, and policy institute on migration and mobility studies in New York City.
The Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility provides a space for research and scholarship, policy debate, and discussion with activists and artists around issues of global migration and mobility, their economic impact, political consequences and their meaning for issues of citizenship and identity.
The New School is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace and particularly seeks applications from members of underrepresented groups, as well as candidates who share this commitment.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Fellow will contribute to the Institute’s facilitation of public engagement with academics, policy makers, activists and artists as related to migration and mobility. The Fellow will be expected to assist in the development of the Zolberg Institute’s programming and core curriculum on migration. The Fellow will have the opportunity to work with leading migration experts and scholars as part of the Zolberg Institute’s intellectual community. Fellows may have the opportunity to teach one course each semester after the first semester (total, three courses).
The appointment will begin July 1, 2025.
