Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, near St. Louis, is seeking a Visiting Scholar or Post-Doc in American Indian Studies. We would be grateful if you would circulate the announcement below to anyone who might be interested.

Our opportunity to appoint a visiting scholar was unexpected and so we have only a short time to receive applications; the closing date is May 26.

The post is open to candidates of all ranks, but since the post begins this August and is only for the 9 month academic year, it could work well for a recent Ph.D. graduate who is seeking additional experience while applying for a permanent position.

The announcement appears below for your convenience in emailing to prospective candidates and colleagues.

Thank you for your valuable time and assistance.

Sincerely,
Julie Zimmermann Holt, PhD
