USA: Watson Institute Post-doc Fellowships, Brown University

Brown University- Watson Institute Fellowships

The Watson Institute is seeking several recent PhDs for one- and two-year visiting fellowships affiliated with existing Institute research projects.

Successful candidates will develop their own research in collaboration with one or more Watson projects, teach undergraduate students, and be actively involved in Institute activities.

Scholars with a commitment to multi-disciplinary collaboration are sought for the fellowships, which begin July 1, 2008. Preference will be given to individuals who can make contributions to and/or across themes such as:
- globalization and inequalities;
- traditional and critical security studies (including issue areas such as terrorism, proliferation, illicit flows, and global media);
- participatory institutions and civil society;
- climate change and/or global environmental governance;
- transnational labor migration and trafficking; and
- democracy promotion in international perspective.

Fellows will also each teach one undergraduate course per year in their area of specialization within the university's International Relations or Development Studies undergraduate concentrations.

Each fellowship carries a salary of $50,000 for 12 months, with the option to purchase insurance at the university's group rate. There is a possibility of renewal, depending on project progress and availability of funding.

Brown University is an AA/EEO employer and especially welcomes applications from women and minority candidates. www.watsoninstitute .org/application . The committee will begin reviewing applications on March 17.
