FELLOWSHIP- Eurasia Program Teaching Fellowships, SSRC

Social Science Research Council
EURASIA PROGRAM

Teaching Fellowships

At the SSRC, postdoctoral research grants have allowed young faculty members
to expand upon their research interests after having completed and often
published their initial dissertation work.  Now, after years of funding
independent research, the SSRC Eurasia Program aims to support faculty in
their classroom activities as well.  This year, the Eurasia Program
introduces Teaching Fellowships that encourage and support faculty members
at all career levels in their efforts to impart their own knowledge and
expertise to their students.

These awards of $10,000 support the creation of original and innovative
course curricula.  Funds will support the rethinking and reframing of
courses in the humanities and social sciences that directly relate to the
whole or part of Eurasia.  Courses must be wholly new, or substantial
revisions of a course previously taught.

A strong candidate will have a proven track record of research and teaching
in his/her field of Eurasian studies.  Fellowships are particularly
appropriate for faculty with heavy teaching loads and with proven desires to
push the teaching of Eurasian studies in innovative directions and to
incorporate contemporary research and thinking on Eurasian studies into new
teaching curricula for use in classrooms.

The SSRC invites proposals that combine two or more of the following:
interdisciplinary outlook; a diverse range of literatures and source media
(including audio, video, and web content); a diverse range of pedagogical
approaches.  All applicants should make note of their proposal's relevance
to contemporary issues, as well as their historical framework.

Final awards are dependent upon funding approval. All selected awardees will
be expected to demonstrate departmental and institutional support for adding
the proposed course to the university's list of offered courses within a
two-year period of time.  Please note: due to funding restrictions,
proposals that solely address one or more of the Baltic States will not be
considered; however, proposals that include Baltic studies within a larger
Eurasian context will be judged along with all other eligible applications.

For additional information or application materials, please contact the
Eurasia Program at the address listed on the bottom of this flyer or e-mail:

The deadline for receipt of applications is 25 March 2003
