Ford Foundation/Udall Center Fellowship Program - University of Arizona
						
Topic: Environmental Conflict Resolution in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region

The Ford Foundation and The Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy at
The University of Arizona announce the first year of funding for research 
fellows-in-residence to study environmental conflict resolution (ECR) in
the U.S.-Mexico border region. The Center invites applications for the
academic year 1998-99 for one fellowship. 

The fellow selected will receive a stipend of $23,000, a private office,
and a half-time graduate student assistant, along with some operational
support for communications, supplies, and secretarial services.  The
Udall Center is located in two renovated historic buildings just off the
University of Arizona campus.

The fellow will be appointed for one academic year and will be required
to be in-residence at the Udall Center for at least one semester (fall
or spring) during that period.  In addition, the obligations of the
fellow will be to participate in the Udall Center's ECR and U.S.-Mexico
border programs and in the activities of the related U.S. Institute for
Environmental Conflict Resolution at the Morris K. Udall Foundation in
Tucson; to teach an interdisciplinary graduate-level seminar at The
University of Arizona on U.S.-Mexico ECR; to present informal lectures
and workshops to the local ECR community and at the University; to
organize a panel or participate in a workshop on ECR, to be offered by
the Udall Center and/or as part of the annual Border Environmental
Association meeting for U.S.-Mexico environmental nongovernmental
organizations; and to prepare a manuscript for publication on the
research undertaken during the fellowship.

Qualifications:  The 1998-99 competition is open to university faculty
     members, postdoctoral researchers, and other scholars with research
     interests in conflict resolution related to the environment, natural
     resources, or land use in the U.S.-Mexico border region.

     statement describing policy research interests in general, (2) plans
     for a specific project to be undertaken as a Ford Foundation/Udall

     and (4) two letters of reference.  In addition, applicants need to
     specify the semester for which they are applying (Fall 1998, Spring
