Visiting Fellowships in International Studies
Watson Institute for International Studies, Brown University
The Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University seeks several recent PhDs for one and two year visiting fellowships to be affiliated with existing research projects at the Institute, beginning July 1, 2008. The Institute carries out research in the areas of security, development, the environment, and culture/ identity. The mission of the Watson Institute is to analyze contemporary global problems, working at the intersection of academia and policymaking.
We seek scholars with a commitment to multi-disciplinary collaboration. 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
- democracy promotion in international perspective
Successful candidates will develop their own research in collaboration with one or more Watson projects and be actively involved in Watson activities. The fellows will also each teach one undergraduate course/year in their area of specialization within the university’s International Relations or Development Studies undergraduate concentrations. There is a possibility of renewal of this fellowship, depending on project progress and availability of funding.
Salary: $50,000 (12 month), plus the option to purchase insurance at the university’s group rate.
The committee will begin reviewing applications on March 17, 2008.
Brown University is an AA/EEO employer and especially welcomes applications from women and minority candidates.
We are no longer accepting applications for this position.
