PENN PROGRAM ON DEMOCRACY, CITIZENSHIP, AND CONSTITUTIONALISM
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
2010-2011 Academic Year
Application Deadline: March 19, 2010

The Penn Program on Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism (DCC)
invites applications for a one-year DCC Postdoctoral Fellow in any
discipline whose research is pertinent to the Program’s 2010-2011 theme,
“Race, Ethnicity, National Minorities, and Citizenship.” The Program
welcomes both empirical and normative scholarship, focused globally or
on particular nations, regions, or communities, that explores the
various ways that racial, ethnic, and national minority identities are
related to civic memberships.

The Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism program is an
interdisciplinary initiative, funded by the Mellon Foundation, which
includes a faculty seminar series and annual conference on themes chosen
by the Program’s Faculty Advisory Council; a graduate workshop series;
and undergraduate research grants. The DCC Postdoctoral Fellow is
expected to participate in the faculty seminar series, teach a Freshman
Seminar on a related topic, and join monthly meetings to discuss the
progress of undergraduates receiving research grants. The Fellow also
has the opportunity to pursue the Fellow’s research and study and
participate generally in the intellectual life of the Penn community.
Stipend is $53,800, plus health insurance.

Eligibility is limited to applicants who will have received their Ph.D.
within five years prior to the time they begin their fellowship at Penn
(i.e. May 2004 or later). Application deadline: March 19, 2010.
