Institute of American Cultures 2021-2022 Visiting Scholar/Researcher Fellowship Program in Ethnic Studies
Visiting Research Scholar Fellowship Program in Ethnic Studies
The Institute of American Cultures offers in-residence appointments to support research on African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Chicanas/os. We especially encourage applications that advance our understanding of new social and cultural realities occasioned by the dramatic population shifts of recent decades, including greater heterogeneity within ethnic groups and increased interethnic contact.
The 2021-2022 IAC Visiting Scholar will receive funding for one or more quarters and may receive up to $35,000 for three quarters (contingent upon rank, experience, and date of completion of their terminal degree). In the event that an award is for less than three quarters or a nine-month appointment, the funds will be prorated in accordance with the actual length of the award. Visiting Scholar appointments are for persons who currently hold a permanent academic appointment. The Visiting Scholar funds will be paid through their home institution and will be expected to continue their health insurance through that source. These funds may be used to supplement sabbatical support for the total that does not exceed the candidate’s current institutional salary. Awardees may receive up to $4,000 in research support. The Bunche Center for African American Studies will not have a Visiting Scholar this academic year.For 2021-2022, the Bunche Center for African American Studies will not have a Visiting Scholar this academic year.
