Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community.

We invite applications for a Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow position, beginning August 2026. Field of specialization is open. The postdoctoral fellow will teach a 2/2 load, primarily at the introductory and intermediate levels for non-majors and prospective majors. The position offers the opportunity to engage with students in a liberal arts environment that emphasizes active learning and close faculty-student interaction, as well as to contribute to the intellectual life of the college. Oxford’s Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship Program Oxford College strives to become a model of the future of liberal arts education by investing in, advancing, and innovating high-impact teaching practices, redefining the teacher-scholar model, and elevating “beyond the classroom” experiences for our first- and second-year undergraduate students. To achieve our vision, we aim to recruit world-class instructors who are teachers first and committed to academic excellence, compelling pedagogy, and positive social change. The fellowship is a one-year fellowship, renewable annually pending a successful performance review, for up to 3 years total. This opportunity will help prepare postdoctoral fellows for a longterm position at a teaching-focused liberal arts institution.

The fellow will receive professional development and mentorship to prepare for a full-time faculty position at a teaching-intensive institution; training in inclusive pedagogy and support for research and grant writing; financial support for scholarly and pedagogical development activities; and opportunities to engage in the academic, social, and cultural life of Oxford College. The fellow will receive mentorship and guidance in their field(s) and other areas of pedagogy from a primary mentor—a tenured member of the History & Social Sciences division most aligned with the fellow’s academic profile—and from related specialists across campus. Additionally, the Fellow will have access to a network of faculty on the Atlanta (Emory College) campus.

Salary and Benefits The salary for the postdoctoral teaching fellowship is $60,000. Additionally, Fellows will receive the same benefits that are provided to regular faculty.
