Applicants must have their Ph.D. in hand by August 2026 and must have completed their Ph.D. no earlier than 2021. Candidates with an equivalent combination of experience and/or education are encouraged to apply.

Candidates whose research focuses on any aspect of the Holocaust and working within any of the relevant disciplines of the humanities or social sciences are welcome to apply. We specifically encourage applicants whose work focuses on oral histories of the Holocaust, the legacies of genocide and mass violence, and the generational transition of trauma and memory.

The Goldberg Fellowship is designed as a hybrid position dividing time between the candidate’s own research, project assistantship, and teaching one course each semester. The Fellow will devote the greater share of their working hours to their own research agenda, while facilitating a new project collecting oral history recordings with the descendants of Holocaust survivors. The courses the fellow teaches will cover some aspect of the Holocaust that complements our fall introductory Holocaust history class.

In addition to their primary responsibilities, the Goldberg Fellow will participate in the academic activities of the Zucker/Goldberg Center and the Yaschik/Arnold Jewish Studies Program. The Fellow will deliver at least one public lecture highlighting their own research. To best fulfill these tasks, the Fellow is required to reside in the Charleston area and work out of the Jewish Studies Center, where office space will be provided. The Goldberg Fellow will receive a competitive stipend, benefits package, and a modest support budget as well as access to the resources and support offered by the Jewish Studies Program and the College.
