Black Queer Everything Fellowship @ Morgan State
BQE Fellowship at Morgan State University - $50,000 Salary 9/1/2023 - 8/31/2024
Black Queer Everything (BQE) is a new project funded by the Mellon Foundation with a mission to cultivate opportunities for the development of innovative research and collaborative community projects led by Black queer and trans youth aged 18-25. The BQE Fellowship is a unique opportunity for its recipient to help support this next generation of Black queer and trans leaders by providing excellent administrative, programmatic, and communication assistance to co-founding director Dr. Anika Simpson and other members of the project. The BQE Fellowship will run from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024 with the opportunity to renew for one additional year.
We welcome applications from those whose research engages queer studies, Black studies, trans studies, Black feminism(s), and other fields related to Black queer studies. We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience with administration, event planning, and social media management.
The part-time fellowship will provide the recipient with $50,000 in salary ($40/hour), an office on the Morgan State University Campus, and more. The fellow is expected to work on site at Morgan State University for 25 hours/week during the length of the fellowship, including the Black Queer Everything Gathering, tentatively scheduled for June 16-23, 2024.
Eligibility Requirements: BA/BS degree required; MA degree in an interdisciplinary or related field preferred. Advanced PhD candidates are eligible to apply, as are recent PhD recipients whose degrees were awarded in the last 3 years but who have not started a tenure track job.
Fill out the online application form and upload a cover letter, CV or resume, writing sample, and three references. For full consideration, please apply by May 22, 2023. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of the search by June 26, 2023.
