Overview
The Transatlantic Academy is seeking candidates to serve as resident Fellows for ten months for the fellowship year with beginning in September 2011. A joint project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Harry and Lynde Bradley Foundation, the Transatlantic Academy is located at the German Marshall Fund of the United States in Washington DC. The academy brings together scholars from Europe and North America to work on a set of related issues facing the transatlantic community. The academy is an interdisciplinary institution which is open to all social science disciplines, the humanities and the natural sciences. For more information on the Academy please visit our website at www.transatlanticacademy.org. The academy welcomes applications from scholars working on the theme of The Competition for Natural Resources: The New Geopolitical Great Game? (Fellowship year 2011-2012). The proposals for Fellowship year 2011-2012 will be reviewed beginning May 10, 2010 with offers extended no later than mid September 2010.
Background
In its first year, the Transatlantic Academy looked at the movement of people into western communities and how the transatlantic region was redefining itself in the wake on these massive population shifts. The second year dealt with the evolving role of Turkey in its immediate neighborhood and the implications for the transatlantic community. In its third year (2010-2011), the Academy will bring together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to consider the big questions raised by the geopolitical shifts of the Twenty First century associated with the rise of Asia, and in particular, China.
Research Theme for Fellowship Year 2011-2012
The Competition for Natural Resources: The New Geopolitical Great Game?
“Man and not nature initiates, but nature in large measure controls.”
Harold Mackinder
In the fellowship year which runs from September 2011-June 2012, the Academy is calling for applications from fellows who would like to conduct research on the broad complex of issues surrounding the implications of resource scarcity for the new geopolitical environment. The competition for natural resources, including energy, water and food has risen to the center of strategic concerns due to the rise of the new economic powers, especially China and India, a rapidly growing world population living in increasing numbers in urban environments, climate change and the vulnerability of sea lanes. The research must examine implications of these challenges for Europe and North America and consideration of common transatlantic approaches to deal with them. Among the research themes of interest are:
Food security as a transatlantic issue
Resource Competition and Geopolitical Competition:
New Technologies and Resource Competition:
The Role of Multilateral Actors:
The Diplomacy of Climate Change and the Role of China:
Eligible Candidates
A minimum of four senior and two junior scholars, three from Europe and three from North America, will work in a collaborative environment. Applicants for senior fellowships must have a PhD and have professional experience equivalent to that of an Associate Professor. Postdoctoral fellowship applicants must complete their PhD before the fellowship begins or within the last two years. Assistant Professors are also eligible for the junior fellowships.
Fellows will be expected to present their own research and to react to the work of their colleagues on a regular basis. They will also be expected to discuss their research with policy makers, non governmental organizations and other policy oriented institutions, both in the United States and Europe.
In addition to a generous monthly stipend, Fellows will receive travel expenses to and from the Academy and a research allowance.
How to Apply
Applications will be reviewed beginning May 10, 2010 with offers made by September 1, 2010. Applications can be downloaded from the academy’s website.
