SSRC Eurasia Program
2008 Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships Competition

The Eurasia Program, Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is pleased to
announce its 2008-2009 Title VIII fellowship activities. Eurasia Program
Title VIII Fellowships serve to expand and strengthen the field of
Eurasian studies through the support of research, writing,
advanced-training and curriculum development. All fellowships are
intended to support work on or related to the New States of Eurasia, the
Soviet Union and/or the Russian Empire, regardless of the applicant's
discipline within the social sciences or humanities.

Online applications and supporting materials, including detailed award
descriptions and eligibility criteria, are now available on the SSRC
Eurasia Program website -
www.ssrc.org/programs/eurasia/fellowships/index.page. Fellowships will be
offered in three categories:

Predoctoral Fellowships target individuals at seminal stages of their
graduate careers. They provide essential training opportunities for
individuals in the early stages of their programs as well as support for
advanced students in the intellectually challenging dissertation write-up
stage of their work. Predissertation Training Fellowships provide up to
$7,000 for graduate students who have not yet advanced to PhD candidacy.
Dissertation Write-up Fellowships offer support in the amount of $22,000
for the 2008-2009 academic year.

Postdoctoral Fellowships support both independent scholars and university
faculty at all levels. Postdoctoral Research Fellowships provide junior
faculty, in particular those who have recently received PhDs, with
$20,000 in support and afford their recipients concentrated time away
from university obligations.

Please note: only U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to
apply.

Contact program staff at eurasia@ssrc.org if you have any questions or
concerns.

Deadline for all fellowship applications is November 13, 2007 at 9:00 pm
EST.
