The USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research invites applications from postdoctoral scholars for its 2017-2018 Center Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.

The fellowship provides $50,000 support and will be awarded to an outstanding postdoctoral scholar from any discipline who will advance digital genocide research through the use of the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive (VHA). The recipient will be required to spend the 2017-2018 academic year in residence at the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research.

One of the Center’s primary research themes is digital Holocaust and genocide studies. For the Center Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, the Center welcomes proposals from researchers who use innovative digital methodologies to approach the testimonies of the Visual History Archive. For this postdoctoral fellowship, also the Visual History Archive itself, its interface and/or its digital testimonies can be seen as research objects.
