Postdoctoral Fellowships

Stanford University’s Bill Lane Center for the American West periodically offers a one-year postdoctoral fellow position. The fellow’s primary research area should be related to the American West (i.e. west of the 100th meridian in North America, including Canada and Mexico).

Research topics can cover any historical periods or current affairs related to the American West. The Center welcomes applications from all academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The postdoctoral fellow will pursue an independent research project, collaborate with faculty and staff at the Center, and may have instructional duties. The fellow is also expected to engage with the Center’s activities and seminars.
