CHANCELLOR'S POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN
AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Under the Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the American Indian
Studies Program seeks two Postdoctoral Fellows for the 2011-2012
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 2011-2012 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 degree requirements by August 15, 2011. 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, 2011, to August 15, 2012.

Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a thorough description of
the research project to be undertaken during the fellowship year, two
samples of their scholarly writing, and two letters of recommendation
to Robert Warrior, Director, American Indian Studies, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1204 West Nevada Street, Urbana,
Illinois 61801-3818. Applications received by January 21, 2011 will
receive full consideration. The review process will continue until the
fellowships are filled. For further information, contact Matthew
