Request for Faculty Field-Building and Student-Training Proposals
The Social Science Research Council seeks proposals from pairs of tenured faculty in graduate training programs of US universities to design and lead dissertation proposal workshops for graduate students within emerging or revitalizing interdisciplinary fields of the humanities and/or social sciences. Selected field directors will lead groups of 12 graduate students in two workshops to orient the students to the field, prepare them for summer predissertation research, and enable them to prepare dissertation research and funding proposals. Applicant field directors must have experience supervising dissertation research, be trained in different disciplines, and based at different universities.
Each field director will receive a stipend of $10,000. The SSRC will recruit students competitively and provide organizational logistics for the workshops and student research.
Proposals should describe the nature and significance of the proposed field, the disciplines from which the SSRC might recruit students, and the training activities that would be offered. Applicants should also submit a short field bibliography and Curricula Vitae.
Applications must be submitted via the SSRC Online Application Portal. The competition opens April 19, 2010. Applications must be submitted by October 1, 2010.
More information about the program may be found at www.ssrc.org/programs/dpdf/. Please direct any questions to program staff at dpdf@ssrc.org.
