The Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) and the Department of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California invite applications for a two-year Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship beginning Fall 2011. The field of specialization is social movements, with a preference for a researcher whose work lies in one or more of several areas: social media and new organizing; intersectional or inter-movement alliances; and framing and narrative in movements. The Fellow will teach one course each semester in the American Studies and Ethnicity program, have research space at PERE, and will be expected to participate in PERE research relevant to the fellow's interests. The Fellow must have a Ph.D. in hand, and should be within 5 years of receiving the Ph.D., by the beginning of the appointment. To apply, please send an application letter, CV, and a brief description of dissertation and current research. In addition, applicants should request that a dossier or three letters of recommendation (to be sent directly by the referees and one of which must speak to teaching abilities) be sent by the deadline of April 27, 2011. Send all materials to USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, 950 W. Jefferson Blvd., JEF 102, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1291. USC strongly values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity in employment. Women and men, and members of all racial and ethnic groups, are encouraged to apply.
