At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

The Center for Gender Studies Residency Fellowship Competition

The Center for Gender Studies (CGS) is pleased to announce the competition for residence at the Center for Gender Studies for the school term 2010-2011. Please note that this fellowship does not award a stipend, but it is less restrictive than one that does - this allows one to engage in other remunerative activity, including teaching on or off campus, or holding another award during the period.


Eligibility: University of Chicago graduate students (at all levels) from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. We are seeking two qualified graduate students with dissertations relating to issues of gender and sexuality interested in participating in the Center for Gender Studies while holding residence at the Center. This is an opportunity for graduate students regardless of funding sources. Residency at CGS during the main three academic quarters is essential. Some travel for research for brief periods is allowed, but must be discussed with the Director in advance.

Award: An office (central to campus) and Center privileges as active participants in the life of the Center. This recipient of the fellowship is expected to participate in and present at the Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop. Awardees are expected to participate in other Gender Studies events such as brownbag lunches, various committees, etc. and to participate in them fully as an interlocutor.

Application Process: The application should include Applicant Data Sheet (Word doc | PDF file) (also available at the Center); Cover Letter - 1-2 pages describing how being at the Center will aid in your dissertation work, how you plan to contribute to the work of the Center; Curriculum Vitae; Letter of recommendation (1) from a member of the UC faculty; Dissertation description (dissertation topic, research areas/areas of interest, 1-2 paragraphs).

The deadline for submission is Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 12:00 PM.
Early applications are welcome.

Submit four (4) copies of the application to:

The Center for Gender Studies
