Visiting Scholars Program
Description:
Faculty members, postdoctoral scholars, and researchers from other institutions around the nation and the world, whose work focuses on women or gender may aqcuire a guest appointment at IRWG for up to one academic year, without funding. Visiting scholars are generally on sabbatical from their home institutions (that is, the title is not designed for independent scholars or those on the job market). This is intended to be used in conjunction with other awards.
Visiting scholars will have access to the institute's community. Visiting Scholars may join existing study groups or organize one of their own.
Deadline: Rolling
Award(s):
Visiting Scholars will ordinarily be housed at the institute, where they will be provided with:
- a private office in Lane Hall
- an e-mail account
- University Library privileges
- Appointments may be requested for fall or winter terms, or for an entire academic year. (Summer appointments are discouraged because many university faculty are away during the summer.)
- Appointments will be awarded based on a fit between the candidate's interests and those of the faculty, scholars, and researchers currently affiliated with the institute and will be subject to space availability.
- No salary, stipend, research funding, health insurance, or travel or moving reimbursement is included.
Eligibility:
