These awards are to support advanced research and writing on any aspect of international migration and refugee flows, in any of the social sciences, history, law, and comparative literature. They cannot be used to support fieldwork or other primary data collection, except field research that can be done in the San Diego area. Predoctoral applicants are expected to finish writing their dissertations during their fellowship. Recent postdoctoral applicants can request support to turn a dissertation into a publishable manuscript or to prepare shorter publications based on the dissertation project.
More senior scholars can propose any major research or writing project.
The duration of the fellowship can be from 3-12 months, depending on the requirements of the project, but full academic year projects are preferred. No summer-only fellowships can be awarded. Applications will be received until January 15, 2001. Candidates will be evaluated by a committee of CCIS faculty research associates and academic staff members. Decisions will be announced by February 15, 2001.
