Free Standing Courses in Gender Studies 2010-11

Deadline: Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 12:00 PM

The Center for Gender Studies is calling for applications by advanced graduate students (ABD) to teach one undergraduate course "of their own design". This course can be taught in any of the three quarters of the 2010-11 term. We invite applications for these positions from all interested Ph.D. students in all divisions and professional schools.

Depending on available funds, the Center for Gender Studies may also fund up to two Free-Standing Courses in the College (to include students in the Social Sciences and other divisions). All applications are considered equally regardless of division in this overall ranking.

Applications should consist of the following:

1. the application form (Word doc | PDF file), including full contact information
2. the student's current CV
3. a course title, a course description, a reading list or the applicant's syllabus
4. one letter of recommendation from a member of the faculty

Fellows will receive $5,000 for the individual undergraduate course they will teach in the College. This fellowship is for one quarter only.

Submit four (4) copies of the application to:

The Center for Gender Studies
Attn: Free Standing Course Selection Committee
5733 South University Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60637

You should ask for the letter of recommendation to be given to you in a sealed envelope; it should then be included in the application. A single copy of the letter will suffice.

Interviews of the top applications may be held the week of TBA. Students also applying in their home department are expected to submit a different course to Gender Studies. Early applications are welcome.

No fax or email applications will be accepted.
