Social Science Research Council--Sexuality Research Fellowships

Fellowship programs at the Social Science Research Council promote
innovative thinking and creative approaches in diverse fields of study.
The Sexuality Research Fellowship Program's objective is to help ensure
the influx of new researchers to this field, sustain the work of senior
researchers and promote research to inform new approaches to current and 
social health issues. The SRFP seeks to cultivate new generations of
scholars who address the complexity and contextual nature of human
sexuality and explore links across disciplines, methods, and issues.
Applications are invited from a wide range of disciplines including but 
not limited to: anthropology, demography, economics, education, ethics, 
history, cultural and women's studies, political science, psychology and 
sociology. Applications from other fields, such as the biomedical/physical
sciences, nursing, law, and clinical fields, are welcome as long as they 
are grounded in social theory and methodology. Applicants who do not 
demonstrate this link to the social sciences are not eligible. 

Dissertation Fellowships: The program will provide support for 12 continuous 
    months in the amount of $28,000 to cover direct research costs, 
    matriculation fees, and living expenses. Approximately 10 dissertation
    fellowships will be awarded in 1999.

Eligibility: Students should have completed all requirements for the Ph.D.
    except the dissertation and be matriculating in a full-time graduate
    program leading to the Ph.D. in a social, health, or behavioral
    science department of a nationally accredited United States College or
    University. 


Postdoctoral Fellowships: The program will provide support for up to 24 
    continuous months. Approximately four postdoctoral fellowships will be 
    awarded in 1999 in the amount of $38,000 per year to cover research 
    costs and living expenses. Any support provided for more than 12
    months will be dependent on the submission and satisfactory review of 
    a progress report to the fellowship program.

Eligibility: Applicant must hold the Ph.D. or its equivalent in a social
    or behavioral science from a state or nationally accredited university
    in the United States, or an equivalent Ph.D. degree from an accredited
    foreign university. The applicant may be a recent recipient of the
    doctorate or well advanced in the postdoctoral research process.
    Fellows may already have conducted research in the field of human 
    sexuality or may be newly committing themselves to using their more
    general training to address sexuality issues. Postdoctoral candidates
    who have conducted research on sexuality for more than eight years 
    will not be considered.

Application deadline: December 15, 1999.
