Interested in Becoming a Visiting Scholar for 2010-2011?
The Women's Studies Program at Northeastern University annually offers Research Associate positions to scholars researching topics on women or gender issues in the humanities and social sciences. The Program is also interested in scholars that work on the intersectionality of race and gender. Scholars are in residence for the academic year (or shorter) at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. Scholars should have additional financial support.
Located in the center of Boston, Northeastern University is ideally located for visiting scholars. In addition to its proximity to Boston's rich cultural and artistic life, Northeastern is close to major research libraries such as the Boston Public Library, the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, as well as numerous academic institutions that make the intellectual life of Boston one of the richest in the country.
Scholars may apply by sending a brief statement of their project, dates of expected residency and a current curriculum vitae to:
