of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Illinois</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> at
Urbana-Champaign, the American Indian Studies Program seeks two Postdoctoral
Fellows for the 2009-2010 academic year. This fellowship program provides a
stipend, a close working association with AIS faculty, and assistance in
furthering the fellow's development as a productive scholar. Applicants should
have an ongoing research project that promises to make a notable contribution
to American Indian and Indigenous Studies. While fellows will concentrate on
their research, they may choose to teach one course in American Indian Studies.
Furthermore, fellows are encouraged to participate in the intellectual
community of the American Indian Studies Program. The Fellowship stipend for
the 2009-2010 academic year is $42,000, including health benefits. An
additional $5,000 will be provided for the fellow's research, travel, and
related expenses. Candidates must have completed all Ph.D. requirements by
August 15, 2009. Preference will be given to those applicants who have
finished their degrees in the past five years. The one-year fellowship
appointment period is from August 16, 2009, to August 15, 2010.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
