IR Job Rumors Fall 2006

*new*[2006-01-28] Additional rumor mills have been independently started, for American and Comparative Politics as well as Political Theory and Public Law. Cross-posting of CP information is probably a good idea, since a significant fraction of CP and IR jobs overlap (unlike CP and AP or IR and AP).

[2005-12-17] To prevent too many comments from building up, periodically a new post that summarizes all the comments will be placed at the top of the blog; to view old comments, see the posts from [October 16-November 17] and [November 18-December 17], which contain old comments.

[2005-12-17] New column added to list whether a job has been filled (and by whom if the information exists).

[2005-12-03] An increasing number of Comparative Politics posts are being made. While only posts that refer to jobs in the IR Job List Fall 2006 will be added to the master table below, contributors should feel free to post information about CP jobs, since there is substantial overlap.

[2005-11-20] To prevent comments being lost, please post all rumors here rather than on the individual rumor postings. Comments have been turned off on these postings.

[2005-11-20] Please use discretion when posting rumors of offers or acceptances; if possible, only post an offer if it is public knowledge.

Got a rumor on which school have invited candidates to interviews or have sent out job
offers? Post a comment here. Names of candidates are not necessary, but can be useful.

Please include some information on the source of your knowledge that will allow others to evaluate your information. Are you a member of the department interviewing? A friend or colleague of a candidate? Please be as specific in your information and sources as possible (while maintaining anonymity if you wish).

Want to see a list of jobs? See the IR Job List Fall 2006 entry.

Note: The Institution links will take you to the original job posting; the Rumors link will take you to the rumor posting. If there is a link but no date in the Rumors column, no substantive information (e.g., a list of interviewees) has been received; dates are updated when new rumors appear. The table is sorted from most recent to oldest rumor.

[C] appears next to dates when additional posts appear to confirm an initial rumor of interviews. If you have independent confirmation of interviews being conducted at a university that does not have a [C] or a list of candidates, please post a comment. A [?] appears if information disputing a rumor of interviews has occurred.

If you have complaints, comments, or suggestions (about this blog), please post a comment on the IR Rumor Mill Discussion post rather than here. If you would like to complain or discuss the job market itself, please post a comment on the IR Job Market Discussion post rather than here.

Harvard University, BCSIA Fellowship

[Department Website] Fellowships in Science and International Affairs International Security Program
2006–2007

Note to applicants: If you are either applying for a joint fellowship or to more than one program, you will need to submit one application per program.
Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (BCSIA)
John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University


BCSIA

The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (BCSIA) is the hub of the John F. Kennedy School of Government's research, teaching, and training in international security affairs, environmental and natural resource issues, and science and technology policy. The Center's mission is to provide leadership in advancing policy-relevant knowledge about the most important challenges of international security and other critical issues where science, technology, and international affairs intersect. The heart of BCSIA is its resident research staff: Harvard faculty members, scholars, public-policy practitioners, and each year a new, multinational, and interdisciplinary group of research fellows.

ELIGIBILITY

The Center offers both pre doctoral and advanced research fellowships for one year, with a possibility for renewal. Applications for research fellowships are welcome from recent recipients of the Ph.D. or equivalent degree, university faculty members, and employees of government, military, international, humanitarian, and private research institutions who have appropriate professional experience. Applicants for pre doctoral fellowships must have passed general examinations prior to appointment. BCSIA seeks applications from political scientists, lawyers, economists, those in the natural sciences, and others of diverse disciplinary backgrounds. BCSIA also encourages applications from women, minorities, and citizens of all countries.

Fellows are expected to devote some portion of their time to collaborative endeavors, as arranged by the appropriate program or project director. Research fellows are also expected to complete a book, monograph, or other significant publication during their period of residence. Pre doctoral research fellows are expected to contribute to the Center's research activities, as well as work on — and ideally complete — their doctoral dissertations.

BCSIA research fellows are selected by the Center's major research programs and projects. Fellowship applicants must indicate the program or project to which they are applying in accordance with the research interests described below. BCSIA offers fellowships in five program areas: the International Security Program (ISP); the Environment and Natural Resources Program (ENRP); the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program (STPP); the Program on Intrastate Conflict. Additional fellowships are offered in special projects described in the next section.

Each applicant should submit as one complete packet:

a 3–5 page double-spaced statement that proposes a major research project or dissertation prospectus, including its relevance to the research interests of one of the Center's programs or projects; the statement should clearly indicate at the top of the page the specific program or project to which the application is being directed.
a curriculum vitae;
Three sealed letters of recommendation (not emails) attesting to the applicant's professional competence;
a short writing sample pertinent to the application (please do not send books or lengthy manuscripts);
Predoctoral candidates must also provide a sealed graduate school transcript.
There is no physical application to complete: the steps above constitute the application process.

The applicant is responsible for collecting all materials, including letters of recommendation and transcripts, and submitting them as one packet to the Center. Materials submitted will not be returned to the applicant. Emailed materials will not be accepted, unless specifically indicated by the Program Director.

The application deadline is February 1, 2006.
