Dear SUC :
I am writing you as Head of the Social Psychology Program at
Howard University. We have a tenure-track opening for a social
PSycuclogise to start in Cuncary or august cf 1994. Because
Howard University is a historically Black University, with only
two social psychologists at the present, both of whom are white,
we are very interested in recruiting an African American for the
position. I would be particularly interested in finding someone
whose interests are in Health Psychology or Organizational
Psychology, with a focus on issues that affect African Americans.
The level is flexible; what is more important is the individual’s
commitment to and quality of teaching and research. I will be
available to meet with interested persons at the APA meetings in
Toronto, so would appreciate an early reply from you or the
person you would recommend.
I’m also writing as Principal Investigator of the Howard
University Women’s Life Paths Study. This survey of women
graduates from Howard University is being funded by a three year
grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. In addition,
we have received a supplemental grant from NIMH to support a
postdoctoral researcher, for which I am also recruiting. This
must be an ethnic minority person, and preferably an African
American woman, because of the nature of the research. Please
post the enclosed flyer for this position, and let me know if you
know of anyone who would be appropriate and interested in this
position as well. Again, I would like to use the opportunity of
the convention in Toronto to meet anyone interested in applying.
Thank you for your help.

Title
Howard University Recruitment Correspondence
Description
Indicative of the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) interest in intersectional feminism, this correspondence was sent from Dr. Sandra S. Tangri, of the Social Psychology Program at Howard University, to the director of the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS), Dr. Sue Rosenberg Zalk on August 9, 1993. The fundamental purpose of the letter was to inform CSWS of an available tenure-track position for a health or organizational psychologist and a postdoctoral researcher position to work on the Howard University Women's Life Paths Study, which had received a three-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Due to Howard University's status as a historically Black university and the intersectional nature of the work, Dr. Tangri was looking for African American women to fill the positions. She informed Dr. Zalk that she would be available for interviews at the American Psychological Association (APA) convention meetings in Toronto later that year. Included was a flyer for the researcher position for CSWS to post for its members to see.
Since 1977, the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS), Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) has promoted interdisciplinary feminist scholarship. The Center’s research agenda focuses on the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and nation in societies worldwide. The Center co-sponsors the Women’s Studies Certificate Program and, most notably, hosts the only stand-alone Women’s and Gender Studies MA Program in New York City.
