Opportunities for Visiting Scholars from Russia and Central Europe

[Slavic Department]

Dear colleagues,

Thanks to generous funding from the Mellon Foundation and Christian A.
Johnson Endeavor Foundation, the University of Chicago is planning to bring
one Visiting Scholar in the humanities from Russia and one from Central
Europe (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, or the
Baltic States) for a residency in winter and spring quarters in 2010 and in
the following years. During their residency, these Visiting Scholars
will teach one course in the Humanities Core. They will also participate in
an orientation and a capstone conference at the University of Chicago Center
in Paris. Candidates should currently hold academic positions of junior rank
in their home countries and be future leaders in their field of the
humanities.

For full descriptions of the programs and contact information please see the
