The Jewish Studies Program at Wellesley College invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Jewish Studies to begin Fall 2023. Candidates should have received the Ph.D. within the last five years (ABD considered) at the time of appointment. Preference will be given to scholars whose research concentrates on Jews, Judaism, or Jewish cultural production in the Mediterranean, North Africa, or the Middle East during the medieval or early modern period. We welcome applicants trained in any relevant humanities or social science discipline, including but not limited to History, Religious Studies, Literary and Area Studies, Philosophy, and Anthropology. For both years, the fellow will teach one course each semester, likely including an introductory course in Jewish Studies. The Fellow will also be expected to advise students and participate in programming for the Jewish Studies Program and other relevant departments and programs.

Applications should be submitted online through the college's career application website (https://www.wellesley.edu/hr/jobseekers). Please submit the following: a letter of application, a c.v., a graduate school transcript, a brief statement of teaching experience and research interests, a writing sample (not to exceed 25 pages), and three letters of recommendation. (The online application will request names/email addresses so that recommenders or dossier services may submit the letters directly). The committee will begin its review on March 15, 2023, though applications will be accepted until March 31, 2023. If circumstances do not allow you to submit materials through our online application system, please email us at .

About Wellesley College

Wellesley is known for the excellence of its education, the beauty of its setting, its gifted faculty, and the uniqueness of its campus culture. But most of all, Wellesley is known for the thousands of accomplished, thoughtful women it has sent out into the world for over 100 years women who are committed to making a difference. Every year, some 2,400 of the world's top undergraduate women are challenged to exceed their own highest personal and intellectual expectations. The mastery Wellesley graduates demonstrate across the professional and vocational spectrum, and the influence they wield, whether in their own communities or on the world stage is testament to a singularly empowering undergraduate experience. Wellesley's lively academic community places a high value on rigorous, probing inquiry, and creative, cross-discipline thinking. Its collaborative approach to scholarship encourages students to question, debate, and refine their points of view, not only with each other, but with our world-class faculty, often by working directly with them on groundbreaking projects. A Wellesley education fosters the highest standard of readiness for the real world in its graduates, in terms... of ability to think, act, and contribute meaningfully and effectively in their chosen areas of interest.
