Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Initiative on Race and Resilience
The Notre Dame's Initiative on Race and Resilience (IRR) invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship to be located in the Department of Africana Studies, beginning in August 2025. The successful candidate will teach one course per semester, pursue a program of independent research, and participate in a scholarly working group addressing multiracial democracy. The fellow is expected to be in residence.
IRR (in collaboration with the Institute for Latino Studies) will host a working group on multiracial democracy. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the working group will examine the role ethnoracial groups play in shaping democratic institutions. Why do democracies struggle to incorporate racially diverse groups, and how might impediments to full political inclusion be overcome? How might multiracial democracies be sustained? By addressing these questions and more, the working group will examine how democracies can foster resilience and develop alternative paradigms to redress historical barriers to full participation.
The working group will present research in progress, host a lecture series, and participate in a national conference on multiracial democracy to be organized and hosted by the University of Notre Dame. The fellow is expected to participate fully in the life of the working group.
Applicants must demonstrate research related to the broad topic of multiracial democracy.
Topics may include:
race, immigration, and transnationalism
cultural plurality
theories of democracy
colonialism and decolonization
theories of race and ethnicity
race, ethnicity, and political participation
intersectionality
cultural representation (film, literature, music, dance, food, plastic arts, etc.)
religious practices and political participation
Evidence of scholarly achievement and successful teaching experience is essential. IRR looks forward to reviewing applications from the social sciences, history, humanities, comparative ethnic studies, literature, and the arts.

The University of Notre Dame was founded in November 1842 by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, a French missionary order. It is located adjacent to South Bend, Indiana, the center of a metropolitan area with a population of more than 315,000. Chartered by the state of Indiana in 1844, the University was governed by the Holy Cross priests until 1967, when governance was transferred to a two-tiered, mixed board of lay and religious trustees and fellows.
