The Stanford Humanities Center and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) are jointly sponsoring up to four high-profile international visitors per year to come to Stanford to share their research with faculty and students. The visitorships target those scholars who are of particular interest to departments and other units on campus and who fit within the respective missions of the Humanities Center and FSI. Visitors are appointed through nomination by a Stanford department, research center, or program.
International scholars are in residence for approximately four weeks. They receive an office at the Humanities Center and are invited to weekday lunches with Humanities Center fellows. They also participate in a research group at one of the FSI centers.
Deadline is November 02, 2009
Eligibility
Stanford departments, programs, and research centers and institutes are each eligible to nominate one candidate for a residency for the following academic year through their chair or director. Preference will be given to departments, programs and research centers that did not host an FSI/Humanities Center visitor during the previous year.
Nominating units are asked to commit to hosting at least one activity (and preferably more) with the candidate, should the nomination be successful. Examples of such activities include: student workshops, faculty discussion sessions, departmental lectures, participation in departmental colloquia, etc. Visitors may not offer courses for credit.
Selections will be made by a committee convened by the Humanities Center and FSI. Especially appropriate are candidates who are finishing a project and are in a position to share the results with colleagues on campus.
Stipends
International visitors receive a stipend of $2,500 per week for the duration of their visit. The Humanities Center and FSI will cover travel expenses for one round trip from their place of origin.
Application Process
Nominations should include:
• Brief rationale for nomination, including a précis of the candidateʼs profile and an explanation of how the candidate would fit with the respective missions of the Humanities Center and FSI (approximately 500-1,000 words: see http://shc.stanford.edu and http://fsi.stanford.edu for more information about the two institutes).
• Candidateʼs CV. Candidates typically will be scholars affiliated with a non- U.S. university or research institution. Candidates must be non-U.S. nationals working abroad. Candidates are expected to be able to function in an English-speaking academic context, although at the departmentʼs discretion, their departmental activity may be conducted in another language.
• A commitment from the nominating unit to host at least one activity (and preferably more) with the candidate if he or she is selected, along with a brief proposal for a possible activity (no more than one paragraph).
Questions
Please direct all questions to Marie-Pierre Ulloa, Executive Officer for International Programs, Stanford Humanities Center, at mpulloa@stanford.edu or 724.8106.
