Senior Research Fellowship – Black Europe and the Atlantic World

Position description

The Department of Modern Languages, in conjunction with the Center for Black European Studies and the Atlantic at Carnegie Mellon University, invites applications for a two-year, non-renewable senior research fellowship in Black European Studies. We encourage scholars with deep interest in the study of culture and identities in Europe. We seek a confirmed scholar whose work is grounded in a transdisciplinary understanding of race within the Atlantic World, a researcher who will ultimately sustain the Center’s mission into the future. 

CBESA is an interdisciplinary research hub dedicated to the collection, production, restoration and dissemination of scholarship on people of African descent in Europe, and the study of exchanges between Black Europe, Africa and the Americas. Led by its founder, Dr. Mame-Fatou Niang, the center aims at fostering collaboration between scholars, educators, policy makers and communities, as well as producing educational programs on transatlantic circulations of Blackness.

Qualifications
