Ithaca College Pre-Doctoral Diversity Fellowship
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.
Applications are welcome in the following areas: Anthropology,
Communication Studies, Education, English, History, Religion, and
Sociology. The school also houses a number of interdisciplinary minors
that may be of interest to candidates: African Diaspora Studies, Jewish
Studies, Latino/a Studies, Latin American Studies, Muslim Cultures, Native
American Studies, and Women's Studies. Fellows who successfully obtain the
Ph.D. and show an exemplary record of teaching and scholarship and
engagement in academic service throughout their fellowship, may be
considered as candidates for tenure-eligible appointments anticipated to
begin in the fall of 2012.
Terms of fellowship: Fellowship is anticipated for the academic year
(August 16, 2011 to May 31, 2012) and is non-renewable. The fellow will receive a
$30,000 stipend, $3,000 in travel/professional development support, office
space, health benefits, and access to Ithaca College and Cornell
University libraries. The fellow will teach one course in the fall
semester and one course in the spring semester and be invited to speak
about her/his dissertation research in relevant classes and at special
events at Ithaca College.
Enrollment in an accredited program leading to a Ph.D. degree at a U.S.
educational institution, evidence of superior academic achievement, and commitment to
a career in teaching at the college or university level required. Candidates must
also be authorized to work in the United States. Prior to August 15, 2011, the
fellow must be advanced to candidacy at his or her home institution with an approved
dissertation proposal. Preference will be given to those candidates in the
final writing stages of their dissertation. Candidates from
underrepresented groups whose exclusion from membership in the American
professoriate has been longstanding are strongly encouraged to apply.
Successful candidates will show evidence of superior academic achievement,
a high degree of promise of continuing achievement as scholars and teachers, a
capacity to respond in pedagogically productive ways to the learning needs of students
from diverse backgrounds, sustained personal engagement with communities that
are underrepresented in the academy and an ability to bring this asset to
learning, teaching, and scholarship at the college and university level, and a
likelihood of using the diversity of human experience as an educational resource in teaching and scholarship.
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.
