Campbell Fellowship for Women Scholar-Practitioners from Developing Nations Deadline: 1 November 2014 OVERVIEW: One six or nine-month fellowship is available for a female postdoctoral social scientist from a developing nation whose work addresses women’s economic and social well-being in her nation. The goal of the program is threefold: to advance the scholarly careers of women social scientists from the developing world; to support research that identifies causes of gender inequity in the developing world; and to support research that promotes women’s economic and social well-being. All data collection should be completed prior to the start of the fellowship. While at SAR, it is expected that the Campbell fellow will advance her academic career (e.g., work on her publications, participate in the SAR scholarly community, network with relevant scholars in the US, and give conference presentations) and promote women’s economic and social well-being in her country through application of her research. Some of the advocacy work may be accomplished during the fellows tenure at SAR or advocacy plans may be developed and refined while at SAR with the intent to put them into action upon returning home. In addition to a $4,500/month 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.
