The Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs announces a competition for one fellowship designed to "top off" the sabbatical or leave salary of a senior scholar for the academic year 2010-11. Fellows are expected to be in residence at IERES for the entire period of the fellowship, to conduct research or writing on an academic project related to postcommunist Eurasia, and to contribute actively to the IERES intellectual community through participation in the institute's seminars, talks, and other events. There are no teaching or work obligations. Preferred candidates will be widely recognized as leaders in their disciplines, with a strong record of peer-reviewed publication. Fellows will be awarded a shared office at IERES, university affiliation and library access, limited administrative support, a stipend of $3,000 per month for the period September 2010 - May 2011, and one roundtrip airfare to cover their arrival in and departure from Washington, DC. To apply, candidates should send a cover letter (maximum three pages) describing the proposed research/writing activity to be done at IERES and a CV by email to Caitlin Katsiaficas, [log in to unmask], with the subject heading "IERES Senior Scholar Fellowship Application." The deadline for receipt of all application materials is March 29. Questions may be directed to Ms. Katsiaficas or another IERES representative at 202-994-6340.
