University of Notre Dame--Erskine A. Peters Dissertation Year Fellowship

The Provost and the African and African-American Studies Program at
the University of Notre Dame invite applications from African-American
doctoral candidates in the humanities, social sciences, and theological
disciplines for the Erskine A. Peters Dissertation Year Fellowship.
Dr Erskine A. Peters (1948-1998), professor of English and senior advisor
to the African and African-American Studies program at Notre Dame, was 
legendary for his commitment to scholarship, community service, and 
graduate education.

Eligibility: Applicants should have completed all requirements for the
	Ph.D. degree except the dissertation. Fellows are expected to 
	be in residence at the University and to devote most of their
	time to dissertation research. In addition, they will be 
	expected to present a public lecture dealing with their current
	research at the end of the spring term to sponsor a short term 
	mutual learning event for faculty and students (e.g. brown bag 
	series, roundtable discussion, etc.).

Period: The fellowship is tenable for a full academic year beginning
	in August 2001 and concluding May 2002.

Award: The fellowship offers a $25,000 stipend, access to office space and 
	a personal computer, and a travel and research budget of $1,000.

Application materials: Interested candidates should submit a formal letter 
	of application describing their research interests and vocational 
	goals along with a curriculum vitae, writing sample, approved 
	dissertation prospectus, and three letters of reference.
