54. University of California, San Diego/Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity - Rockefeller Residential Humanities Fellowship

The Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at the University of California, San Diego, seeks applicants for postdoctoral fellowships from scholars conducting research on ethnic identity in an international frame. Projects on the ways in which migration, economic restructuring, transnational media and social movements are altering ethnic and racial identities are especially welcome, as are inquiries into the ways in which cultural practices related to religion, language, sexuality and gender serve to reflect, inflect, reinforce and subvert ethnic and racial categories.

Applications may be submitted by junior, senior and independent scholars of any nationality who are conducting research on the transnational aspects of race and ethnicity anywhere in the world. Fellows will be encouraged to present their research through lectures and seminars, to interact with faculty, graduate students and undergraduates, and to draw upon the broad range of resources available to researchers at the university and in the large cosmopolitan and binational metropolitan area in which it is located.

Fellows will receive a stipend of $30,000 (prorated on a nine month basis) for a period of up to nine months. The deadline for applications is JANUARY 18, 2000.
