Comments: Dartmouth College invites applications for the Cesar Chavez / Charles A. Eastman / Thurgood Marshall Dissertation Fellowships from US citizens who plan careers in college or university teaching. The goal of the Chavez / Eastman / Marshall fellowship program is to promote student and faculty diversity at Dartmouth, and throughout higher education, by supporting completion of the doctorate by underrepresented minority scholars (including African-American, Latina/o, and Native American scholars) and other graduate scholars with a demonstrated commitment and ability to advance educational diversity. The Fellowships support graduate scholars for a year-long residency at Dartmouth that generally runs from September through August. Three Fellowships will be awarded. Each Fellowship provides a stipend of $25,000, office space, library privileges, and a $2,500 research assistance fund.

The School for Advanced Research (SAR) awards approximately six Resident Scholar Fellowships each year to scholars who have completed their research and analysis and who need time to think and write about topics important to the understanding of humankind. Resident scholars (PhD candidates and post-doctoral scholars) may approach their research from anthropology or from related fields such as history, sociology, art, and philosophy. Both humanistically and scientifically oriented scholars are encouraged to apply. SAR provides Resident Scholars with low-cost housing and office space on campus, a stipend up to $40,000, library assistance, and other benefits during a nine-month tenure, from September 1 through May 31. A six-month fellowship is also available for a female scholar from a developing nation, whose research promotes women's empowerment. SAR Press may consider books written by resident scholars for publication in its Resident Scholar Series.

Five College Fellowships offer year-long residencies for doctoral students
completing dissertations. The program supports scholars from under-represented
groups and/or scholars with unique interests and histories whose engagement in
the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching. This year we expect to award
four fellowships for 2012-13.
Each Fellow will be hosted within an appropriate department or program at
Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At
Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Applications are to the
program, not to a specific hosting campus.
This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are provided research and
teaching mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and
scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also
supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.
The fellowship includes a $30,000 stipend, a research grant, health
benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges
at all five campuses belonging to the consortium.
While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation,
most fellows teach at their hosting institution, but never more than a single
one-semester course.
To apply: Application is online through the Human Resources
office at Smith College, which has agreed to administer this search on behalf
of the Consortium.

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.
