We’re hiring a postdoc in naval history at USNA! It’s a really great gig. Please share this widely. It says review began yesterday, but it didn’t. There’s still plenty of time to get your application in. If you have advanced graduate students who fit these criteria, please send them our way!

The USNA History Department invites applications for the Post-Doctoral Fellow (History) Class of 1957 Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Naval Heritage, a two-year appointment, commencing in Summer 2025, for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years. The position is open to all U.S. citizens who have attained a Ph.D. degree in history or a closely related field, and to advanced doctoral students who expect to be granted their Ph.D. no later than June 2025. Specialization within this subfield is open, but the committee especially welcomes applicants with expertise in U.S. Navy and Marine Corps history, broadly defined.

Candidates must have a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and to producing high-quality peer-reviewed research. In support of this commitment, they will:

  • teach a core course in American naval history, or an upper-level History course in their area of specialization during the term of the fellowship;
  • develop appropriate pedagogical methods that successfully teach undergraduates to evaluate history and to produce historical scholarship;
  • participate actively in the department, serving as a colleague and resource for instructors who teach Naval and Marine Corps history, and as a part of the Forum on Integrated Naval History and Seapower Studies.

This is an onsite, gift-funded, federal excepted service position with a two-year appointment. Salary for this position has been set between $66,000 to $76,000 and will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.
