Fulbright Canada Postdoctoral Research Award in Black History, University of Windsor

University of Windsor, Department of History

CA$45,000 per year for 2 year residency

The Visiting Fulbright Scholar will spend two years at the terminus of the Underground Railroad, based at the University of Windsor’s History Department, conducting research as well as engaging with the vibrant Black History community organizations in Windsor and neighbouring communities. The University is located on the Detroit River, directly opposite Downtown Detroit, and many collaborations exist for working with academic and community organizations in that city.

The History Department seeks to deepen and strengthen our ongoing Black History research projects as well as our strong ties to our local Black History organizations. The position is open to any area of Black History, not just that of Southwestern Ontario/Detroit, but it is expected that the visiting scholar will work to make connections between their own scholarship and that of local Black History. In each of the two years, the visiting scholar will present elements of their research as a Fulbright Public Lecture. Although not guaranteed, there may be teaching opportunities for the visiting scholar. It will be expected that the visiting scholar will assist in the supervision of graduate (and advanced undergraduate) students where appropriate. 

Specializations: Black History in North America, and any connection to local history (Southwestern Ontario, Detroit) would be most welcome.
