(UCIS) Center for Russian & East European Studies (REES)

UCIS Postdoctoral Fellowships in Russian & East European Studies for 2013-15

The University of Pittsburgh is offering a postdoctoral fellowship to begin
in September 2013 for scholars in any field in the humanities, social
sciences and professional disciplines (e.g. law, business, public affairs)
whose work focuses on topics in Russia, Eastern Europe, and the former
Soviet regions of Eurasia, pending final budgetary approval. The fellowship
is designed to offer junior scholars the time, space, and financial support
necessary to produce significant scholarship early in their careers while
simultaneously building their teaching records. 

 

The UCIS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Russian & East European Studies is for
two years, renewable for an additional year.  The UCIS/REES Fellow will
teach one course in the first year, two in the second, and three in the
third, if extended.  Fellows will be expected to pursue their own scholarly
work and participate in the academic and intellectual activities of UCIS and
REES, as well as the department or professional school with which they are
affiliated. The annual stipend will be $40,000, plus benefits.

 

Eligibility. We invite applications from qualified candidates in the
humanities, social sciences and professional disciplines who have received
the PhD or final professional degree from a university other than the
University of Pittsburgh no earlier than June 30, 2011.  Applicants who do
not have the PhD in hand at the time of application must provide a letter
from their department chair or advisor stating that the PhD degree will be
conferred before the term of the fellowship begins.  The fellowship may not
begin before the candidate has actually received the PhD or equivalent final
degree in a professional discipline.  Strong preference will be given to
candidates whose application is supported by an agreement from a current
University of Pittsburgh faculty member to serve as mentor for the candidate
during the period of the fellowship.

 

Application requirements and procedures are available at [web site];
applications will be taken via email only and will require:

1.  Application form 
2.  Curriculum vitae

3.  Detailed statement of current research interests (1,000 words) that
clearly outlines the goals of the research you will undertake during the
term of the fellowship
4.  One writing sample no longer than 25 pages

5.  Copy of the Dissertation Table of Contents
6.  Two-page statement of teaching interests and two course proposals
(subject area, brief syllabus, proposed methods) for 15-week courses
directed toward advanced undergraduates or graduate students
7. Names, professional titles and email addresses of three references

 

Complete applications must be sent by December 10, 2012.   Only fully
completed formal applications will be considered. It is your responsibility
to ensure that all documentation is complete.  The University of Pittsburgh
is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and educator. Women,
minorities, and international candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
