Fellowship Opportunity Announcement
New Opportunity!
Title: Pre-Doctoral Diversity Fellowship Program
Location: Ithaca College (Cayuga Nation)
The School of Humanities and Sciences at Ithaca College announces a Pre-Doctoral Diversity Fellowship for 2011-12. The fellowship supports promising scholars who are committed to diversity in the academy in order to better prepare them for tenure track appointments within liberal arts or comprehensive colleges/universities.
As part of Ithaca College’s commitment to diversity we are launching the second year of our Pre-Doctoral Diversity Fellowship Program. We especially seek representation of Native American issues and perspectives that could emanate from many disciplines but that could be housed in Anthropology, Communication Studies, Education, English, History, Religion, and Sociology. There are a number of diversity related minors and programs the successful candidate could also interface with, including Native American Studies. Graduate students with specializations in a broad range of anthropological fields would also fit with our interests. Please forward the enclosed announcement to qualified doctoral candidates who would benefit from the opportunity to teach and hone professional skills in an excellent liberal arts college in the heart of the Finger Lakes of Central New York. Ithaca College is located in the Cayuga Nation homeland and recent revitalization projects have brought the Cayuga home after a 200 year hiatus from their ancestral homeland. These exciting developments and the proximity of the Onondaga and Seneca Nations of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy would offer informative perspectives to complement the applicant’s area of study.
Interested individuals should apply online at www.icjobs.org, and submit a C.V./Resume, a cover letter, a list of references and a transcript. Questions about the online application should be directed to the Office of Human Resources at (607)274-8000. Screening of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
