George Washington University Visiting Scholar and Postdoctoral Fellowships

Overview

Visiting Scholars

The Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES) invites applications from US and foreign scholars who need to be in residence in Washington, DC for their research and writing on topics related to Europe and/or Eurasia (the territory corresponding to the former Soviet Union). Senior scholars, post-doctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students working on their dissertations in any major discipline are eligible to apply. Applicants should have funding from elsewhere, such as a fellowship or a university sabbatical. Scholars may be in residence at IERES for a period from one month to one year. Visiting Scholars at IERES will be given carrel or office space, computer access, and library privileges, and we hope they will participate actively in intellectual life at IERES, which includes talks, conferences, informal discussion, and other activities. We hope that Visiting Scholars will also give a presentation on their research while at IERES.
Interested scholars should send their CV, a 2-page description of their research project, and the proposed dates of residency to ieresgwu@gwu.edu. The reserach proposal should include an explanation as to why a residency at IERES would be beneficial and whether office or desk space is requested (if it is requested, please say if this is essential). Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, with the first wave of decisions for the 2011-2012 academic year being made in December 2010 except in special circumstances (for example, if you are applying for a fellowship that requires a letter of support for 2011-2012 prior to December 2010). Where possible, the Institute is grateful for bench fees from visiting scholars.


Petrach Senior Fellowship in Eurasian Studies

The Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs announces a competition for one fellowship designed to "top off" the sabbatical/leave salary or another portable fellowship of a senior scholar for the academic year 2011-12. Fellows are expected to be in residence at IERES (http://www.gwu.edu/~ieresgwu/) for the entire period of the fellowship, to conduct research or writing on an academic project related to Eurasia (including in part Ukraine), and to contribute actively to our lively IERES intellectual community through participation in the institute's seminars, talks, and other events. There are no teaching obligations. Preferred candidates will be widely recognized as leaders in their disciplines, with a strong record of peer-reviewed publication. In the US, this would usually mean a tenured academic appointment, and in Eurasian systems a degree of doktor nauk. While the Fellow's research does not have to focus on Ukraine, part of the study should relate directly to it. All disciplines are eligible. Fellows will be awarded a shared office 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 apply, candidates should send a cover letter (maximum three pages) describing the proposed research/writing activity to be done at IERES and a CV by email to Caitlin Katsiaficas, caitlin@gwu.edu, with the subject heading "Petrach Senior Fellowship Application." The deadline for receipt of all application materials is February 28, 2011. Questions may be directed to Ms. Katsiaficas at 202-994-6342. This fellowship is funded by IERES's William and Helen Petrach Endowment.

Davis and Hoffman Postdoctoral Fellowships in European or Eurasian Studies

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.
