Position: Two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in Islamic Studies, Wheaton
College in Norton, Massachusetts

Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, will offer two postdoctoral
fellowships in Islamic Studies, each for two-year appointments
beginning in 2011-12. Fellowships will reside in any of the following
three areas/departments: Anthropology, Religion or Women’s Studies.
Thus, we invite applications from recent PhDs who can teach Islamic
Studies courses in Cultural Anthropology or in Religion, and/or within
our Women’s Studies program.

The two-year non-renewable postdoctoral fellowships are funded by the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and provide the opportunity to teach in a
liberal arts college setting. Fellows will have the opportunity to
craft and teach courses in their areas of specialty. The teaching load
is 2 courses in the first year and 3 courses in the second. Each
fellow will be mentored by a scholar within their field (i.e.
Anthropology, Religion or Women’s Studies) and also will be provided
with a mentor outside of their field.

Wheaton College is a selective liberal arts institution known for
creativity in its curriculum. Our faculty have significant mentoring
experience with new teachers in postdoctoral and junior faculty
appointments. We seek candidates who are committed to strengthening
their teaching in a liberal arts setting.

To apply, please send a c.v. and a cover letter which describes your
areas of specialty and a statement about your interest in teaching in
a liberal arts environment. Please also send material on your teaching
history, which includes sample syllabi and course evaluations.
Applications will be accepted until both positions are filled, but
preliminary interviews will be conducted at the National Women's
Studies Association (NWSA). Thus, review of applications will begin in
November 2010. Inquiries may be directed to Prof. Evelyn Staudinger,
Provost’s Office, 508-286-3580 or 508-286-8212. Please send TWO copies
