Fellowships
Fellowship in International and Comparative Political Economy, 2010-2011
The Georg W. Leitner Program in International and Comparative Political Economy, a multidisciplinary program of the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, seeks to appoint a research fellow for the 2010-2011 academic year. The fellowship promotes basic research in international and comparative political economy and is open to scholars in political science, economics, history, sociology, and other relevant disciplines. Preference will be given to recent recipients of a doctoral degree who are either postdoctoral students or assistant professors. The terms, titles, and salary of the fellowship are negotiable depending on qualifications and may, in some cases, include minimal teaching responsibilities. The selected fellow will be required to be in residence for the entire 2010-2011 academic year.
Questions about the fellowship can be directed to Professor Ken Scheve at kenneth.scheve@yale.edu. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a three to five page description of the research project to be completed during the fellowship year, a writing sample, and a list of the names of three references.
The letters may be sent directly to the MacMillan Center, either by the letter writer or university dossier service, or included with the application materials. If recommendation letters accompany application materials they must be in a sealed envelope. Letters sent by e-mail with full title, institution and contact information of the sender will be accepted.
Applicants who hold positions at academic institutions should include information about whether they have a sabbatical leave available, their history of sabbatical leaves over the last five years, and a brief summary of their home institution’s leave policy in their cover letter. Application materials may be sent to the Leitner Program, the MacMillan Center, 34 Hillhouse Avenue, P.O. Box 208206, New Haven, CT 06520-8206 or e-mailed to
heidi.mcannally-linz@yale.edu. Applications must be received by December 15, 2009.
