The purpose of the Fellowship is to provide an opportunity for researchers to make creative use of the data holdings of the Roper Center. Fellows will be in residence at the University of Connecticut--Storrs and will have full access to the resources of the Roper Center, with no teaching or administrative responsibilities. The term of the fellowship is 18-24 months. It is planned that one fellow will be selected each year, so that two fellows will be in residence at any time. The fellowship includes a stipend of $55,000 per year and health and other University benefits. Applicants must have received a doctoral degree in a relevant field within approximately the last seven years. Both new PhDs and more experienced scholars are encouraged to apply. Fellows should submit a 5-10 page proposal outlining research that the applicant hopes to do using data from the Roper Center. For more information about the fellowship and application procedures, see the Roper Center website at www.ropercenter.uconn.edu, or contact David Weakliem (weakliem@ropercenter.uconn.edu). _________________________________ Lois Timms-Ferrara Associate Director Institute for Social Inquiry/The Roper Center University of Connecticut 341 Mansfield Road, Unit 1164 Storrs, CT 06269-1164 E-mail: lois@ropercenter.uconn.edu WEB: www.ropercenter.uconn.edu 860.486.0656 / fax 860.486.6308
