| Position Summary: | The Latin American and Caribbean Studies program at Rollins College is seeking an Alfred J. Hanna Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship in Latin American and Caribbean Studies for a two-year fellowship. Eligible scholars are those who have earned a doctorate within the last three (3) years in any academic discipline and with a geographical focus on Latin America and/or the Caribbean. Applicants must have PhD in hand by June 1, 2017. The two-year experience is expected to prepare the fellow for a position at a liberal arts college. The successful candidate will demonstrate an interest in learning about the rewards and challenges of a career at a liberal arts institution and will be an interdisciplinary teacher/scholar who will integrate Latin American studies into our liberal arts curriculum while pursuing a significant research agenda in his or her field. The second year of this position is contingent on a satisfactory performance review at the end of the first year. The teaching load for this position is three courses each year, one in the fall semester and two in the spring. During the fall semester, the successful candidate is expected to team-teach (with a tenured professor at Rollins) the core course for the Latin American and Caribbean Studies major and minor, LAC 200 Foundations of Latin American and Caribbean Culture and Society. During the spring semester, he or she will teach another section of LACS 200 and a seminar-style, elective course on a topic of his or her choice related to Latin America or the Caribbean. The successful candidate is also expected to be an active participant in the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program and encouraged to do one or more of the following: work with a Latin American student organization, create and implement campus programming, or organize and co-lead field study experiences. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to deliver a talk on his or her research on campus and is strongly encouraged to involve students in his or her research. Funding is available to support student-faculty collaborative scholarship experiences. Founded in 1885, Rollins is an independent, comprehensive, liberal arts college. The campus, noted for its lakefront beauty and for its unique location, is set in the residential community of Winter Park, just 15 minutes from one of the nation’s most dynamic urban centers, Orlando. Rollins enrolls approximately 3,200 students in diverse degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate level. Rollins ranks number one among 128 Southern master’s-level universities in the annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges,” released by U.S. News & World Report.
