Fulbright Scholar award related to demography, migration, and the sociology of population, 2009-2010.

The Fulbright German Studies Seminar offers U.S. scholars the
opportunity to meet in Germany to discuss current issues relevant to
both Germany and the international community. This year's seminar will
be dedicated to "Germany's Future: New Parties - New Solutions?" In view
of the upcoming German elections, the seminar will look at new social
and cultural trends in Germany, explore which factors particularly
influence the German political landscape, and discuss the emergence of
new political parties. In this context, the seminar will be focused on
issues ranging from immigration to education, from demography to energy
policies, and from German reunification to globalization and the
European Union. Grantees receive round-trip air travel, travel within
Germany, lodging, a partial per diem, and health insurance coverage for
the duration of the seminar. Major parts of the program will take place
in Berlin, but visits to other German regions will also be included.

Applications are now being accepted for up to 25 awards available in
2009-10. Those eligible to apply include scholars from U.S.
universities, colleges, and community colleges who hold full-time
teaching appointments and meet other academic requirements (Ph.D., Ph.D.
candidacy, or other equivalent degree or qualifications). Applicants
must be U.S. citizens. The seminar is to be held in English, and will
take place in mid- to late-June 2009. FFI: http://www.cies.org/award_book/award2009/award/Ful9251.htm.

Inviting Fullbright Fellow studying migration and ethnicity at De Montfort University, UK, 2008-2009.

School of English, Performance and Historical Studies at De Montfort University is looking for a US scholar during the 2008-9 academic year through a Fulbright Fellowship. The school currently has a series of scholars working on themes revolving around the history of migration and ethnicity and would like to invite someone from the US to work there. The program is ideally looking for a US migration specialist but would also have interest in people working in other geographical areas.

Below is the link to UK Fulbright, and the most relevant schemes would be Fulbright Distinguished Scholars and Fulbright Senior Specialist Fellowships. The school previously hosted a Fulbright Fellow. http://www.fulbright.co.uk/awards/us/scholars/index.html

Post-doctoral fellowships for researchers working at the intersection of race, gender, and public policy.

The Race, Gender & Public Policy Initiative at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs is offering one year post-doctoral fellowships for researchers working at the intersection of race, gender, and public policy

The University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute is a national leader in the study of race and public policy and the examination of gender and public policy. We are widely recognized for our role in examining public issues and shaping public policy at the local, state, national, and international levels. The newly formed initiative on Race, Gender, and Public Policy explores new frontiers of knowledge at these intersections. The program promotes scholarship that benefits from cross-disciplinary discussion and contributes to the development of new ideas and tools for both policy arenas.
