UCLA: 2009-10 Postdoctoral/Visiting Scholar Fellowship in American Indian Studies
The UCLA Institute of American Cultures, in cooperation with UCLA's four Ethnic Studies Research Centers (American Indian Studies Center, Asian American Studies Center, Bunche Center for African American Studies Center, and the Chicano Studies Research Center), offers fellowships to postdoctoral/visiting scholars to support research on African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Chicanas/os. Each Center awards one postdoctoral/visiting scholar fellowship for the academic year in a national competition.
The fellowship includes a stipend (which can be used as a sabbatical supplement) that ranges from $32,000 to $35,000 (contingent upon rank, experience, and date of completion of the Ph.D), up to $4,000 in research support, and health benefits. If applicable, the stipend is paid in the form of a reimbursement to the Fellow's home institution. Appointments are for a 9-month period beginning on October 1, 2009.
Eligibility: Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States and hold a Ph.D. from an accredited college/university (or, in the case of the arts, a terminal degree) in the appropriate field at the time of appointment. UCLA faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students are not eligible to apply.
IAC Postdoctoral Fellows/Scholars are to be in residence during their tenure and to make a contribution to the research activities of the sponsoring Ethnic Studies Research Center. Each fellow/scholar is expected to devote full time to study and research and accept no other form of employment. In the case of the American Indian Studies Center, the fellow/scholar will also teach a 10-week undergraduate OR graduate seminar based on his or her research for the American Indian Studies Interdepartmental Program.
Applications are due by January 16, 2009, and recipients are notified in April, 2009.
