Post-doctoral Fellowship
Back to Research Fellowships
Because of the generosity of the Watson-Brown Foundation, ISS is able to invite applications for a post-doctoral fellowship to be awarded for the 2010-2011 academic year (August 16, 2010 through May 15, 2011). The successful applicant must be prepared to begin residence in Columbia by August 15, 2010. The fellow will teach one course each semester in the interdisciplinary undergraduate program in Southern Studies and organize a scholarly conference in his/her field of interest. The selection process will attach substantial weight to the potential of the candidate to revise for publication a dissertation that promises to make a valuable contribution to understanding of the South in any academic discipline.
Applicants should have a recently acquired Ph.D. in any discipline of Southern Studies, including, but not limited to, anthropology, environmental studies, geography, history, literature, material culture and sociology. Applicants should apply on line at http://hr.sc.edu/employ.html. Candidates should be prepared to submit a letter of interest, a c.v., a writing sample and three letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation may be sent to Bob Ellis, Business Manager, Institute for Southern Studies, USC-Columbia, Columbia, SC 29208.
The deadline for applications is 15 December 2009. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. USC is an AA/EOE.
