Lawrence University Fellowship

[Department Website][APSA elisting(requires membership)] LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS Lawrence Fellows in the Liberal Arts and Sciences are postdoctoral positions for recent Ph.D.s who seek to develop a record of excellence in teaching and research in a liberal arts college setting. A detailed description of the program is available at www.lawrence.edu/dept/fellows. Lawrence Fellows appointments will be offered on a competitive basis for academic year 2006-07. Initial appointments are for 2 years, with a reduced teaching load (three courses in the first year and four in the second year) to provide time for continued scholarship or artistic achievement. Fellows also participate in a faculty development program that fosters excellence in teaching and scholarship.
