of agriculture, biology, geography, anthropology, sociology, and economics; we also
encourage applicants with interdisciplinary training in agrobiodiversity, soil science,
agroecology, or food studies. An international focus is also highly desirable. Williams is
an institution that places a high value on undergraduate teaching; consequently, we
strongly prefer applicants who can demonstrate a capacity for excellent teaching.
The successful candidate will be appointed for a term of two years and will carry a
teaching load of one course each semester. The baseline stipend for this position is
$42,000 per year plus an allowance of $2,250 for research and professional travel
expenses. The Fellow will also be provided with full benefits including health and dental
insurance. The position is made possible by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
