Visiting Associate Research Scholar

Princeton University

Posted: September 11, 2009

Description:
The Princeton University Program in Latin American Studies (PLAS) invites applications for research fellowships. These fellowships will be awarded to outstanding Latin Americanists interested in devoting a semester or year in residence at Princeton University. Fellowships are open to scholars in all disciplines, with preference given to applicants from Latin America. The terminal degree must have been completed by the application deadline.

During the appointment, fellows will be expected to pursue independent research at Princeton; to teach one undergraduate seminar per semester, conditional upon approval of a Princeton department and the Dean of the Faculty; and participate in PLAS-related events on campus. Fellows will enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University. For more information about the Program in Latin American Studies, applicants are encouraged to visit the PLAS website: http://www.princeton.edu/plas/.

Fellows will be appointed for either one or two semesters during the academic year, 2010–2011 (fall semester: September 1, 2010–January 31, 2011; spring semester: February 1–June 30, 2011). The Office of the Dean of the Faculty determines salary on the basis of current academic rank and award duration; appointment rank at Princeton is determined on the basis of seniority and current institutional affiliation.
