The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at The Ohio State University, is a university-wide interdisciplinary research institute.

Responsive to real-world needs, our work informs policies and practices that produce equitable changes in those dynamics.

The Fellow must demonstrate solid understanding of and support for the Institute’s mission, have very strong research and writing skills, and have a record of high-quality performance. Additional qualifications include the ability to work both independently and as a member of a team, meet deadlines, and handle multiple work assignments.
