Dear Colleagues,

Two new fellowships perhaps of interest to list members from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee:

The Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) is pleased to offer two new Provost Post-Doctoral Fellowships for the 2011-12 academic year:

International Fellowship
$40,000 stipend, with up to $10,000 additional research and travel stipend available. Applicants must have received their degrees from non-U.S. universities.

Interdisciplinary Humanities Fellowship
$40,000 stipend, with up to $5,000 additional research and travel stipend available.

Applicants must have received their doctorates within five academic years previous to the year of the award. The Provost fellowships are designed to further broaden the academic networks of the group of faculty in residence at C21, and are thus unavailable to UWM and UW System faculty. Applications are due April 29, 2011.
