KELLOGG INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES POSTDOCTORAL VISITING FELLOWSHIPS

Application Deadline: October 1, 2024

LOCATION: USA

The Kellogg Institute for International Studies has offered visiting fellowships to promote interdisciplinary international research in a supportive community of scholars. The Institute offers time to pursue scholarly development, advance your research portfolio, and develop your skills as you prepare to enter the academic job market. 

ELIGIBILITY:

They invite applications from scholars who conduct international research on the themes of global democracy and/or human development. Applicants may come from any country and must have recently earned a PhD within the last five years.

Most successful applicants will work in a social science discipline or in history. Advanced ABD graduate students may apply, but awards are contingent on their having completed the PhD before June 30 of the starting fellowship year.

For non-US citizens and residents, please consider: 

Advanced English language proficiency is required.

Foreign nationals must have a valid passport and be able to obtain a J-1 visa.

According to US immigration regulations, an individual who completes a period of stay of less than five years as a J-1 professor or research scholar and does not have another appointment immediately following the termination of said stay, cannot return to the US as a J-1 professor or research scholar until the individual has been outside the US for a minimum period of two years. This two-year bar is different from the two-year home residency requirement normally issued to J-1 scholars.

ACLS HBCU FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS

Application Deadline: 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, November 6, 2024.

LOCATION: USA

The American Council of Learned Societies invites applications for the 2025 ACLS HBCU Faculty Fellowships. The fellowships provide $30,000 to $50,000 (based on the applicant’s proposed budget) and are intended to support project plans that require sustained time (e.g., semester/year leave or a series of course releases), in addition to any other budgeted project costs, to advance the applicant’s research project. In addition to the fellowship stipend, awardees will have access to networking and mentorship opportunities that align with their scholarly goals and institutional circumstances. This fellowship opportunity is part of the ACLS HBCU Faculty Fellowship and Grant Program, which offers both fellowships and project grants to HBCU faculty.

ELIGIBILITY:

The basic eligibility criteria for applicants are outlined below.

Applicants must:

Be employed primarily as instructors at an institution designated as an Historically Black College or University. (Please consult this list to determine whether your institution is eligible.) Applicants do not need to be appointed full-time and do not need to be on the tenure-track. Part-time and adjunct instructors are welcome to apply. All awardees must remain employed at an accredited HBCU for the duration of the award term.

Have an MA or PhD in the humanities or related social sciences that was conferred by the application deadline.

Commit to research leave of at least four course releases (or their equivalent, such as a semester or two summer research leave), or more, over the course of the award term. ACLS encourages award recipients to work with their institutions to leverage the funds to support their research leaves to their fullest extent.

Agree to take part in occasional networking, project development, and mentorship events during the course of the award term.

Projects must:

Address a topic in the humanities or social sciences and/or teaching and learning in those disciplines in a higher education setting.

Employ predominantly humanistic approaches and qualitative/interpretive methodologies.

Incorporate original scholarly research, regardless of the final product.

Incorporate in their project budgets, at minimum, four course releases (across the entire grant term), or two consecutive summers of research time, or a semester-length research leave. (ACLS provides a budget template for reference.)

BENEFIT:

Stipend: $30,000 to $50,000 in fellowships to be used for semester or year-long research leaves, summer salary, or course releases, and any other activities that advance the proposed project, including (but not limited to) travel to collections or conferences, research and editorial support, and child- or eldercare costs.
