The School for Advanced Research (SAR) is pleased to announce the new
Campbell Fellowship for Women Scholar-Practitioners from Developing
Nations, made possible with a generous three-year grant from new SAR
board member Vera R. Campbell's family foundation.
The Campbell Fellowship will support a female social scientist from a
developing nation, either pre- or post-doctoral, whose work addresses
women's economic and social empowerment in that nation. The goal of
the fellowship is twofold: to advance the scholarly careers of women
social scientists from the developing world, and to support research
that identifies causes of gender inequity in the developing world and
that proposes practical solutions for promoting women's economic and
social empowerment.
In addition to a stipend, and housing and office space on the SAR
campus, the Campbell Fellow receives travel, shipping, and library
resource funds; health insurance; and the support of a mentoring
committee of established scholar-practitioners. The fellowship term
will start on September 1, 2010 and run through February 28, 2011. The
application deadline is November 1, 2009. Application instructions are
available in the website's Resident Scholar Fellowship section.
