------- Forwarded from H-AMSTDY by Ross B. Emmett -------
The SSRC in collaboration with the American Council of Learned
Societies (ACLS), conducts a broad range of programs relating to
international scholarship in the social sciences and humanities.
These programs emphasize the training of scholars who will use their
familiarity with distinctive areas, cultures, languages, and
historical experiences, in combination with their disciplinary
training, to help illuminate scholarly issues that transcend their
particular specializations.
These programs include fellowships for conducting dissertation
research abroad, and for advanced (postdoctoral) research.
In August 1996, the SSRC hopes to announce a major new program of
dissertation fellowships. This program would enable highly promising
doctoral candidates in the social sciences and humanities to conduct
extended periods of field research outside the United States. The
program will be open to doctoral candidates working on all major
world regions (as well as candidates engaged in cross-regional
and/or cross-cultural research) and across all disciplines of the
social sciences and humanities.
The SSRC and ACLS also intend to continue to administer postdoctoral
fellowships that provide support for area and comparative research.
Information on the availability of postdoctoral fellowships for
world areas not covered by the specific fellowship programs detailed
in this document will be available in August.
For further information, contact the Fellowship Office of the SSRC
after August 1, 1996.
