Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Perry World House (University of Pennsylvania)

For those of you looking for post-doctoral fellowships with later deadlines, here's another neat opportunity. At the University of Pennsylvania, the Global Innovations Institute at Perry World House has announced its inaugural post-doctoral program, part of the larger remit of Perry World House to "connect Penn to the international policy world through research, student engagement, and public programming, bringing the university's intellectual resources to bear on the urgent global challenges of the 21st century."

The call for applications explains the guidelines of the program:

Applications are welcomed from scholars who have received their Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in the last two years, or who expect to complete their degree by June 2016. We hope to bring 3-4 postdoctoral fellows to campus for the 2016-2017 academic year. We are seeking excellent scholars from a variety of disciplines who are interested in interdisciplinary outreach and who work on policy relevant topics. Moreover, we are particularly interested in applicants studying important global issues in the following thematic areas, which are a priority for Perry World House:

• Evolving Global Dynamics: Conflict, Cooperation, Culture, and Technology

• Urbanization, Migration, and Demography

• Religion, Politics, and Society

Postdoctoral fellows at the Global Innovations Institute will pursue their own research as well as participate in the intellectual life of the Global Innovations Institute and Perry World House. Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to give a presentation during the academic year and attend regularly scheduled seminars. The position pays a stipend of $47,000 plus relevant fees and health insurance. Perry World House will also introduce each postdoctoral fellow to related faculty and leaders of centers and institutes at the University of Pennsylvania.

The University of Pennsylvania is strongly committed to Penn's Action Plan for Faculty Diversity and Excellence and to establishing a more diverse community at Penn (for more information see here). . The University of Pennsylvania is an EOE. Minorities/Women/Individuals with disabilities/Protected Veterans are encouraged to apply.

If this sounds appealing, send in your application – and make sure it is received no later than  February 15, 2016. Applications should include  a CV, research statement, writing sample, and two letters of recommendation to postdoc at pwh.upenn.edu or to the following postal address:
