[Sule Tarakcioglu]

FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
FIVE COLLEGE WOMEN'S STUDIES RESEARCH CENTER
A collaborative project of Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith
Colleges and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The Center invites applications for its RESEARCH ASSOCIATESHIPS for
2005-2006 from scholars and teachers at all levels of the educational
system, as well as from artists, community organizers and political
activists, both local and international. Associates are provided with
offices in our spacious facility, library privileges, and the
collegiality of a diverse community of feminists. Research Associate
applications are accepted for either a semester or the academic year.
The Center supports projects in all disciplines so long as they focus
centrally on women or gender. Regular Research Associateships are
non-stipendiary. We accept about 15 Research Associates per year.
International applicants may also apply for one of the two one-semester
FORD ASSOCIATESHIPS for Fall 2005 or Spring 2006, which offer a stipend
of $12,000, plus a $3,000 housing/travel allowance in return for
teaching (in English) one undergraduate course in the Women's Studies
Program at the University of Massachusetts or the Women and Gender
Studies Department at Amherst College. UMass and Amherst College seek a
total of two experienced researchers and teachers to strengthen their
undergraduate curriculum and, in the case of the university, to
complement their graduate program. For Fall 2005, the University of
Massachusetts seeks a researcher with expertise in the Middle East or
Latin America with an emphasis on globalization, transnational studies
or postcolonial studies. Research should focus on gender, race,
ethnicity, class and sexuality within the context of globalization.
Candidates whose work crosses traditional academic boundaries preferred.
For Fall 2005 or Spring 2006, Amherst College seeks a researcher who is
also an experienced teacher and who works on the Middle East, Latin
America, Asia or Africa with expertise in the field of gender in the
media especially in the context of war and civil unrest. Ford Associates
need not be studying their own region of origin.

Applicants for both programs should submit a project proposal (up to 4
pages), curriculum vitae, two letters of reference, and application
cover sheet. In addition, Ford applicants should submit a two-page
description of a women's studies course they are prepared to teach,
which includes their pedagogical goals and techniques. Submit all
applications to Five College Women's Studies Research Center (postal
address shown below). Deadline is *February 14, 2005.* For further
information, contact the Center (contact information provided below).
