Visiting Fellows Program

Postdoctoral and Visiting Professors please click here.

The Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies (USMEX) at the University of California, San Diego invites applications for dissertation fellowships for the 2011-2012 academic year. The Center’s Visiting Fellows Program is the largest residential fellowship program in the United States for research on Mexico.  Each year the program brings together scholars from the social sciences, history, and related fields.

Visiting Fellows are expected to be PhD candidates who are ABD and have completed a substantial portion of their dissertations. The majority of the fellowship awards are for residential periods between 4 and 9 months in duration. Stipends are determined by UC general policies, and funding availability.

Priority will be given to proposals on social policy, public health, discrimination and poverty, although the Center will consider supporting research in other more general studies. Awards have been given in the past supporting research on contemporary Mexico, Mexican history, and U.S.-Mexican relations.  Comparative studies with a substantial Mexico component are especially encouraged as well as proposals from groups of two or more scholars working on a common project.  Additional funding may be available for workshops or short-term visits by other scholars relevant to USMEX’s priority research areas.

PLEASE NOTE:

Applications will ONLY be accepted via the Center’s Online application website. Please click here to begin the application process.
