POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN UKRAINIAN STUDIES
	
The Shevchenko Scientific Society, Inc. invites applications for the 
Shevchenko Society Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2007-2008 academic 
year. Funded by generous contributions from the Ukrainian-American 
community, the Shevchenko Postdoctoral Fellowship is intended to support 
aspiring young scholars in the US and Canada who work in the fields of 
Ukrainian philology and linguistics or Ukrainian literature. Other areas 
in Ukrainian studies, such as history and social science, may be 
considered under special circumstances.

The fellowship award will be up to $35,000, commensurate to the 
qualification of a candidate and requires the recipient to be affiliated 
with an accredited North American university, preferably one with a 
program in Ukrainian studies, during the fellowship period. Preference 
will be given to individuals who will have an opportunity to teach in 
the Ukrainian area at their university. The award period is for one 
year, with the potential for renewal during the second year.

Candidates must have recently earned a PhD degree with a concentration 
in Ukrainian subjects. Ideal applicants should have a strong potential 
for developing independent research in Ukrainian philology, linguistics 
or Ukrainian literature and be interested in pursuing a career in 
Ukrainian studies at the university level.

Completed applications must be received before February 1, 2007 and include:

1) fellowship application form printed below
2) a two to three page summary of research interests and goals (see below);
3) curriculum vitae;
4) (optional) a scholarly paper written in the past two years.

Applications are accepted by e-mail at: info at shevchenko.org or by 
regular mail. A reprint of a recent publication can be forwarded 
electronically or mailed separately to:

Fellowship Committee,
Shevchenko Scientific Society, Inc.,
