The
Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility (ZIMM) welcomes
applications for the position of Visiting Scholar for the 2015-2016
academic year, from individuals whose research, teaching and work
intersects the fields of migration studies and mobility, broadly
construed. With that, we are accepting applications from scholars who
are committed to the research philosophy of the Institute and the thematic and topical interests that the institute aims to foster.
Visiting Scholars are expected to present their ongoing research at least once during the academic year, and engage regularly in the life of the institute (i.e. attend lecture series events, join and participate in a working group or research cluster and aid in the development of or submit work to the works-in-progress series). This is an appointment as an affiliate of ZIMM (i.e. library/institutional access, help with visas, intellectual community). The duration of the visiting scholarship is one academic year starting Fall 2015.
