HI Postdoctoral Fellowship Application Announcement

[Kevin Eric Laney]

Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Harriman Institute

The Harriman institute is pleased to announce its annual open field
post-doctoral fellowship competition.  The Postdoctoral Fellows Program
enables junior scholars who have recently received the Ph.D. to spend a
semester or an academic year) without any obligations other than the
revision of their dissertation for publication in book form.   Fellows are
encouraged to share their work by giving a public presentation, and to
participate in lectures and other events. Fellows may use the Harriman
Resource Center and the Columbia Libraries.  

The primary criterion for such fellowships is excellence. Evidence of the
dissertation's potential to make a significant contribution to the study of
Eurasia and Eastern Europe weighs most in the Fellowship Committee's
selection of fellows. Postdoctoral fellows must have received the Ph.D.
within the three years prior to the fellowship period for which they are
applying. Candidates cannot hold a faculty position and must have
successfully defended their dissertations by June 1, 2011 and deposit them
before the start of the academic year in early September in order to receive
their fellowships.  

To apply, candidates should send the following materials to the Harriman
Institute Fellowship Committee by January 10, 2011 (fellowships begin the
following September): 

*	A curriculum vitae;
*	A substantial portion of the dissertation;
*	Three letters of recommendation;
*	A research plan outlining how their time will be spent at the
Institute.



Decisions regarding the selection of Postdoctoral Fellows are made no later
than March 17; applicants will be notified in a timely manner.

Please send all materials to:

Barbara Singleton
Harriman Institute
Columbia University 
420 West 118th Street, 12th Floor
