American Academy of Arts & Sciences Visiting Scholars Program

[Debra L. Martin]

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is now inviting 
applications for its Visiting Scholars Program for the 2010-2011 
academic year.  The program serves untenured junior faculty and 
postdoctoral students interested in pursuing research related to one 
of the Academy's four core program areas:  Humanities and Culture, 
Social Policy and American Institutions, Science and Global Security, 
and Education.

Through this program, the Academy offers scholars a year for research 
and writing free from teaching and administrative duties, a 
collaborative work environment, and the opportunity to interact with 
the Academy membership, including leaders from every field and 
discipline.  Scholars also have access to local library and archival 
resources, and opportunities to engage in seminars at neighboring 
institutions. A stipend of up to $60,000 for junior faculty and up to 
$40,000 for postdoctoral scholars accompanies the award.

The program website includes a copy of the guidelines for the 
2010-2011 fellowship year and application materials 
(<http://www.amacad.org/visiting.aspx>www.amacad.org/visiting.aspx).  
We look forward to receiving applications from your postdocs and 
junior faculty.

The deadline for applications is October 16, 2009.  If you have 
questions about these fellowships, please contact John Tessitore, 
Administrative Director of the Visiting Scholars Program at 
617-576-5002 or 
email:  <mailto:jtessitore at amacad.org>jtessitore at amacad.org.


Sincerely,

Leslie Berlowitz
Chief Executive Officer
