Siena College’s McCormick Center for the Study of the American Revolution will award a one-year Postdoctoral Teaching and Research Fellowship for the academic year 2018-2019. The fellowship supports an early-career scholar whose research and teaching advance the McCormick Center’s mission to foster greater appreciation, interest, and awareness of the events and ideals behind the struggle for American independence. The McCormick Center collaborates with Saratoga National Historical Park and Battlefield and other regional community partners to achieve its mission and support the undergraduate Certificate in Revolutionary Era Studies (CRES).
Scholars without ongoing positions who have earned a Ph.D. within the last five years may apply for this fully funded, 10-month fellowship (September 1, 2018- June 30, 2019). We welcome applicants working in diverse fields of history (economic, political, labor, religious, art, cultural, intellectual, among others) as well as specialists in historical archaeology, American Studies and public history. The McCormick Center Fellow will teach a 2/2 course load in the Department of History, contribute to the McCormick Center’s community programming, and conduct research in regional repositories. As a visiting faculty member in Siena College’s History Department, the fellow will receive office space, have full access to library resources, and opportunities to participate in the Capital Region community of academic and public history scholars. Applicants with scholarly interests in the history of New York State are especially encouraged to apply.
