Overview
The Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at The George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs announces a competition for two junior post-doctoral fellowships for the academic year 2011-12. These fellowships are intended to support recent Ph.D. recipients as they bring their dissertation research to publication or embark upon a first post-dissertation research project related to IERES’s areas of coverage (Europe and the part of Eurasia corresponding to the postcommunist world) at the outset of an academic career.
Fellows have no teaching obligations, though are expected to be in residence at IERES (http://www.gwu.edu/~ieresgwu/) for the entire period of the fellowship and to contribute actively to IERES’s lively intellectual community through participation in the institute’s seminars, talks, and other events. Preferred candidates will combine strong signs of leadership within their own discipline and area expertise, though comparative social science projects including at least one substantial case from Europe/Eurasia will also be strongly considered.
Scholars will be awarded desk space at IERES, university affiliation, library access, limited administrative support, a stipend of $3,300 per month for the period September 2011 - May 2012, and one roundtrip airfare to cover their arrival in and departure from Washington, DC.
To be eligible, the applicant’s doctoral dissertation must have been defended by the start of the fellowship period, but no earlier than 2007. All disciplines are eligible.
To apply, candidates should send a cover letter (maximum two pages) describing the proposed research/writing activity to be done at IERES, two letters of recommendation (sent separately by the recommenders), and a CV by email to Caitlin Katsiaficas, caitlin@gwu.edu, with the subject heading “Davis-Hoffman Postdoctoral Fellowship Competition.”
The deadline for receipt of all application materials is February 28, 2011. Questions may be directed to Ms. Katsiaficas at 202-994-6342. These fellowships are funded by the Maria H. Davis European Studies Endowment and a gift from A. Michael Hoffman.
