New Visiting Scholars opportunity

[AAllan at AOL.COM]

In fall 2002, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences will launch a new

Visiting Scholars Center at its headquarters in Cambridge.  The Center will

stimulate and support research conducted by promising younger scholars and

will foster interaction with Academy Fellows on scholarly and public policy

issues.


We ask your help in bringing this opportunity to the attention of the

members of your association.  [Done. - A.M.] Candidates are invited to submit
proposals

related to one of the Academy's core areas of research--Science, Technology,

and Global Security; Social Policy and Education; and Humanities and

Culture--and to a number of special themes for 2002-2003.


Further information, guidelines and an application form are available on the

Academy's website at www.amacad.org.  The stipend for post-doctoral fellows

is $35,000; the stipend for junior faculty is $45,000.  The deadline for

applications is January 21, 2002.
