This year-long post-doc fellowship provides scholars at the beginning of their academic career a year in which they can prepare their dissertation for publication, pursue research projects, gain experience teaching advanced undergraduate courses, and participate in the University of Missouri Women’s and Gender Studies scholarly community. Fellows will have a 1/1 teaching load with at least one course related to their research project. This appointment is for one year; we anticipate that it will be non-renewable.
