Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Bill Lane Center for the American West will be issuing a call for applications for postdoctoral fellowships for the 2010-2011 academic year early in 2010. Please check back here for updates.

The Bill Lane Center offers two-year postdoctoral fellowships in the study of the North American West. Recent Ph.D.’s in all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences whose research concerns the Western United States, Western Canada, or Mexico are eligible.

While in residence at the Center, fellows pursue their own research. Fellows also have the opportunity to work with faculty colleagues in developing Center research programs. During their fellowship term, fellows take the lead role in organizing a research workshop, lecture series, or conference related to their area of research.

During each academic year of the appointment, postdoctoral fellows teach one undergraduate course on a topic related to their research. Courses are offered in the department most appropriate to their disciplinary specialization.

Please contact us for further information.
