Comments: The Institute of American Cultures, which houses UCLA's four Ethnic Studies Research Centers (American Indian Studies Center, Asian American Studies Center, Ralph H. Bunche Center for African American Studies Center, and Chicano Studies Research Center), offers awards to visiting scholars/researchers to support research on African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Chicanas/os. We especially encourage applications that advance our understanding of new social and cultural realities occasioned by the dramatic population shifts of recent decades, including greater heterogeneity within ethnic groups and increased interethnic contact. Must hold a Ph.D. from an accredited college or university at the time of appointment. UCLA faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students are not eligible to apply. Visiting Scholar appointments are for persons who currently hold permanent academic appointments, and Visiting Researcher appointments are for newly degreed scholars. Offer of Fellowship is contingent upon funding availability.Maximum stipend of $32,000 to $35,000 for 3 quarters (contingent upon rank, experience, and date of completion of terminal degree) + health benefits + up to $4,000 reimbursed research support, of which $1,000 may be applied to relocation expenses.
