Tulane University, Stone Center for Latin American Studies
Zemurray-Stone Post-Doctoral Fellows in Latin American Studies
Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | Louisiana, United States |
Position: | Post-Doctoral Fellow |
The Stone Center for Latin American Studies invites applications for a one-year post-doctoral fellowship for the 2016-2017 academic year. Applications from social scientists, especially working in the areas of political development, economic analysis and policy, social policy, environmental studies, urban studies, and communication/media studies are encouraged. Experience with Community Based Research or Service-Learning instruction a plus. Fellows will be selected following two criteria: (1) intellectual merit and (2) the potential impact that their research, teaching, and experience would have on the strategic advancement of Latin American Studies at Tulane.
Fellowships are one-year, residential, full-time appointments with a stipend of $47,500 plus benefits. Travel and moving expenses are not supported. The fellowship requires teaching one course per semester, with the Spring Semester course designated as a Service-Learning course. Fellows will also be expected to assume responsibility for leading at least one new Center initiative and/or will participate in mentoring the Center’s undergraduate and graduate students. We are also attempting to launch an MA program in Costa Rica, and so there may be an opportunity for the fellowship to afford a year-long field research opportunity in Costa Rica in exchange for serving as the resident director of this MA program. If any applicant is interested in this possibility, please indicate this in your application cover letter. Applicants who are ABD must complete their Ph.D. by June 2016 and absolutely must have the Ph.D. in hand by the start of the Fall 2016 semester. Preference will be given to those who have not had recent access to Tulane University’s resources and whose research would benefit from such access.
Application must be submitted via Interfolio by visiting http://apply.interfolio.com/33620 and must include (1) a curriculum vitae; (2) a cover letter describing research interests and teaching philosophy; (3) a graduate transcript; (4) two recommendation letters; (5) a writing sample; (6) a detailed proposal for at least one content course or seminar; and (6) teaching evaluations if available.
