2011 CASBS-Residential Fellowship Program at Stanford University, USA: Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology Humanistic Disciplines, Education, Linguistics and Biological Sciences.

The Center offers a residential postdoctoral fellowship program for scientists and scholars from this country and abroad. Since 1954, CASBS fellowships have been awarded to scholars working in a diverse range of disciplines. These include the five core social and behavioral disciplines of anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology as well as scholars from a wide range of humanistic disciplines, education, linguistics and the biological sciences.

Many activities offer Fellows significant opportunities to engage with one another (as well as with other accomplished scholars on Stanford campus):

•a seminar series in which Fellows are invited to present their work
•informal work groups that emerge during the year, which give Fellows with broadly overlapping interests a basis for sustained conversation
•public meetings of special projects in residence, which give Fellows a chance to learn more about these projects and to engage with participants on substantive issues of mutual interest
•daily lunches at the Center, which often result in one-on-one meetings between potential collaborators
•special events and recreational activities organized by the Center
•Stanford campus colloquia and seminars provided by the Psychology Department, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, the Humanities Center, etc.

O’Bie Shultz Fellowships in International Studies at Stanford University,USA

The purpose of the O’Bie Shultz Dissertation Research Travel Grant is to enable Stanford graduate students with an approved Ph.D. dissertation proposal related to international studies to undertake fieldwork necessary for the dissertation. Typically, this research is conducted in another country. Funds are limited, so it is not possible to support every worthy proposal. The grants are intended to supplement other sources of financial support, and rarely exceed $5,000. Awards from this application cycle are intended to be disbursed during the 2011-12 academic year, although occasional early disbursals during the summer quarter may be considered. Applicants must be Stanford graduate students in good standing who have completed all requirements for their Ph.D. except the dissertation (reached TGR status). Applicants should have completed course work and necessary foreign language training before the period covered by the grant, and should be prepared to undertake full-time research on the dissertation topic. Only expenses that are legitimate research-related travel costs may be covered by the grant. No funds are available to cover travel costs for dependents and spouses. The amount of the award is determined on an individual basis contingent upon the interdepartmental faculty selection committee’s approval.
