Descripción del empleo

The Yale Fortunoff Video Archive, in conjunction with the Yale Program in Jewish Studies, announce the Geoffrey H. Hartman Postdoctoral Fellowship in Holocaust Studies, a one-year postdoctoral fellowship with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2027. The fellowship is renewable for a second year, contingent upon a successful review. Candidates for the fellowship must have a Ph.D. in hand by the start date of the appointment and must have received the degree no earlier than 2024. The Archive and Program seek a specialist in history or other fields in the humanities and social sciences, whose research reflects themes related to Jewish Studies and would be enhanced by materials in the Fortunoff Archive.

The recipient is expected to be in residence during the period of their award, and be free of other major professional obligations. Fellows will teach a course related to their research (using the Fortunoff Archive). They also will be required to either organize a small conference or produce a critical edition of a single testimony from the collection. During the fellowship, the fellow will be asked to present their research as a "work in progress" to the Yale community, and occasionally present on behalf of the Fortunoff Archive. The postdoctoral scholar will also be expected to participate actively in the intellectual life of the University and specifically in Jewish Studies events, seminars, and symposiums.

Compensation will be commensurate with Yale University postdoctoral compensation policies and the candidate's experience. The position is benefits-eligible. Candidates should send a cover letter, CV, project proposal, two letters of recommendation, and two proposed course titles along with a 200-300-word abstract for each course. In addition, candidates should list up to three Yale faculty members who might serve as their primary supervisor/mentor.
