CREST Diversity Dissertation Fellowship
The Center for Citizenship, Race, and Ethnicity Studies (CREST) at The College of Saint Rose anticipates offering two one-year diversity fellowships for doctoral candidates engaged in completing their dissertations. CREST seeks applicants whose research addresses issues of diversity central to the Center's interdisciplinary mission. Potential fellows' dissertations should be influenced by some of the following research agendas: race, racial identity, race relations, ethnicity, colonialism, state formation, Diaspora societies, borderlands, and citizenship in regional, national, trans-national, littoral, or comparative contexts.
This one-year non-renewable fellowship carries a $20,000 stipend, on-campus housing, $5,000 in research expenses, courtesy access to local libraries, and office space.
Fellows are expected to complete their dissertations by the end of their fellowship year and will teach one course in their respective discipline during either the fall or spring semester. During their residency, Fellows will present their research and be active participants in CREST's intellectual life.
