Housed in the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, the Program in Agrarian Studies at Yale fosters the interdisciplinary study of agrarian societies, historically and across the world. We aim to be the crossroads for the best work in the humanities, the social sciences, environmental studies, and related professional fields that breathe new life into the study of farmers, agriculture, and rural society and capture the texture of lived experience as well as contribute to theoretical and conceptual advances.The postdoctoral associates will be required to be in residence for the 2025-2026 academic year, present a paper, and attend the weekly colloquium. Emerging scholars are encouraged to apply and established scholars may also apply. Applications from knowledgeable activists and public intellectuals whose work on rural life transcends the academy may also be considered. Graduate students who are working on their doctoral degrees may apply, but fellowship recipients must have completed their PhD dissertations and present proof that they have received their doctoral degree. Postdoctoral Associates are expected to be in residence in New Haven, Connecticut, for the full academic year so that they can take an active part in the intellectual exchange with other members of the Program. The salary is competitive and comes with a benefits package. Information regarding benefits associated with the position can be found here:
