The John Galliher Postdoctoral Fellowship in Peace Studies and Black Studies

The University of Missouri-Columbia’s Peace Studies Program and the Department of Black Studies are seeking applications for a 9-month postdoctoral teaching fellowship in Peace Studies and Black Studies, beginning August 15, 2025. There is a possibility for a second-year renewal, contingent on funding availability and a satisfactory evaluation of teaching and service performance during the first year. 

The fellow will have a 3/3 teaching assignment or teach three courses in each of the two semesters, which will include “Introduction to Peace Studies” and “International Conflict Resolution and Group Reconciliation,” as well as classes focusing on Black/Africana politics, economics, and/or racial inequalities related to topics like social justice, environmental issues, migration, sports, media, and religion. Additionally, the fellow will help to organize and actively promote the program and department's events to students and the public, supervise internship and capstone projects, and assist with the Peace Studies Journal and Newsletters
