Tulane University: Zemurray-Stone Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellows in Latin American Studies

The Stone Center for Latin American Studies invites applications for two one-year post-doctoral fellowships for the 2008-09 academic year.  Applications from social scientists in the fields of urban studies, environmental studies, and policy studies are encouraged.  Cuban or Andean area expertise preferred, but not required.  Experience with Community Based Research or Service Learning instruction a plus. Fellows will be selected following two criteria: intellectual merit; and the potential impact that their research, teaching, and experience would have on the strategic advancement of Latin American Studies at Tulane.
 
The fellowship carries a stipend of $47,500 plus benefits and requires teaching two courses per semester, with at least one course for the Spring Semester designated as a Service Learning course. Fellows will also be expected to assume responsibility for leading at least one new Center initiative and/or will participate in advising and other on-going Center activities. Applicants must plan to complete their Ph.D. by June 2008. Preference will be given to those who have not had recent access to Tulane University’s resources and whose research would benefit from such access. Please send a current curriculum vitae, a cover letter describing your research interests and teaching philosophy, a graduate transcript, writing sample, proposals for at least two courses or seminars, and three letters of recommendation to Zemurray-Stone Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellows Search, Stone Center for Latin American Studies, 100 Jones Hall, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70118-5698. For further information, please contact James D. Huck, Assistant Director, Stone Center for Latin American Studies at 504-865-5164 or jhuck@tulane.edu. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis with expected offers to be made by March 2008.
