The Sawyer Seminar on "Around 1948: Interdisciplinary Approaches to
Global Transformation" at the University of Chicago invites applications
for two Dissertation Fellowship awards for either the academic year
2011-12 or the subsequent academic year 2012-13. The seminar looks at the remarkable historical moment
'around 1948' across a range of international locations and from the
point of view of several disciplines.
The Dissertation Fellows will be expected to pursue research and write-up in residence at the University of Chicago in 2011-12 or 2012-13. They will be expected to participate in the Mellon Project community by attending the workshop, lectures and conference events. The fellowship provides tuition, the Student Life Fee, University student health insurance on the Basic Plan (if the fellow elects to take it), and a stipend of $23,000.
To be eligible for this grant, students must have exhausted their existing aid commitments beginning in the academic year in which they hold the award (2011-12 or 2012-13). They cannot have held or currently hold any University of Chicago (i.e., divisional, departmental, center) dissertation write-up fellowship. The Sawyer awards may not be held by students who are beyond the tenth year in their program in 2011-12; beyond the ninth year in 2012-13. Students applying to hold the award in 2011-12 must be admitted to candidacy by March 31, 2011; to hold the award in 2012-13, they must demonstrate admission to candidacy by March 31, 2012.

Comments: This program was established to assist promising and highly qualified young foreign researchers wishing to conduct research in Japan. It is aimed at providing opportunities for such researchers to, under the guidance of their hosts, conduct cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions, thereby permitting them to advance their own research while stimulating Japanese academic circles, particularly young Japanese researchers, through close collaboration in scientific activities. Such collaboration is also intended to advance scientific research in the counterpart countries.
