NEWTON Fellowship....they said it will take 5 months from the date of submission...so, should hear by early July.
On Status change: it just says 'approved' in mine- I guess it means eligibility checked.
Do post, if any news on NEWTON Fellowship....its such a long wait...
Crossing my fingers and waiting to hear this coming week (April 15) about AAUW and Josephine de Karman dissertation fellowships...anyone else?
ON Newton Fellowship: 1) you need to press 'manage' to view your eligibility status. 'approved' at the front page does not quite mean anything. 2)I notice, on this rumor website, that the applicants of last year'r round were announced in later May.
Post-Doc in EU Politics
Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), University of Cambridge
Applications are invited for one post-doctoral fellowship (ER: Experienced Researcher) as part of a new Marie Curie Initial Training Network looking at the Dynamics of Institutional Cooperation in the EU (INCOOP). Under the leadership of Dr Julie Smith, the postholders will join an exciting project looking primarily at cooperation in the context of the European Council/Council of Ministers. Further details on the network can be found at http://www.in-coop.eu/welcome.
The level of appointment will be dependent on qualifications and experience. A PhD (for post-doctoral positions) in a relevant or an associated discipline is required.
Under the terms of the EU funding, which aims to promote mobility within the research community, no-one can apply for a position within their own country or a country where they have been resident, worked or been a student for more than 12 months out of the three years immediately prior to appointment. UK nationals and others who do not meet the mobility requirements for the Cambridge positions are therefore not eligible to apply for these positions. Those interested in research opportunities within the network who are not eligible for consideration for the Cambridge posts should visit the INCOOP website. Initial Training Networks are limited to researchers in the first 5 years of their career at the time of recruitment. Full details of the eligibility criteria for early stage and experienced researchers, the person specifications and the responsibilities of the posts are provided in the further particulars.
The further particulars and an application form (PD18) are downloadable from the Department of Politics and International Studies website http://www.polis.cam.ac.uk/dept/jobs.html Two sets of the application documentation should be sent IN HARD COPY to Dr Julie Smith, Department of Politics and International Studies, 17 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1RX by 1st May 2010. The successful applicants will be expected to start in September 2010. Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Julie Smith (email: jes42@cam.ac.uk). We regret that only applicants short-listed for interview will be contacted.
* Limit of tenure: 36 Months
Closing date: 1 May 2010. Planned Interview dates: Interviews will take place in June.
Is there any news with regards to the Order, Conflict and Violence fellowship?
First round offers for Ernest May Fellowships are out.
Are we supposed to hear from AAUW today? Anyone know anything?
Hey
Has anyone heard about the AAUW international fellowship results for 2010-2011
AAUW dissertation fellowships announced:
http://www.aauw.org/learn/fellowships_grants/fgaRecipients2010-11.pdf
de Karman fellowship committee is meeting May 1st. Award recipients are supposed to be notified that day, if you are not notified May 1, you are to assume you did not receive an award. (via their phone message, called them 4/19)
So May 1 it is! Seems a little odd given that it's a Saturday.
Got email from AAUW on April 15th (the official letter followed a few days later) that I was an alternate.
Has anyone heard anything about the HF Guggenheim Dissertation Fellowship on violence?
HF Guggenheim Dissertation Fellowship decisions to be given in June.
HFG Committee doesn't meet until June, according to the website.
NEWTON Fellowship: any news with status change in e-gap?
I saw someone suggesting that we will hear sometime in May. I assume they will write an email?
-newton applicant
What happened with OCV?
Last year, Newton applicants got the rejection email on May 27th.
When I spoke to someone at USIP in early March, she said she "expected" that they would be announcing the fellows in mid-April. Has anyone heard anything?
According to PSJR some people received OCV rejections...but it's still not confirmed. I haven't heard a thing! Anyone know if offers have been extended?
Just got off the phone with USIP. They will notify all applicants of their decision by next Monday via email.
de Karman was to notify selected recipients today. I didn't get any notification and their voicemail says to assume you were not selected if you are not notified May 1. Sigh!
What happened with OCV? Who got the fellowship?
Has anyone heard from Newton fellowship?
NEWTON: Anyone heard from Newton Fellowship?
I notice that there is status change in e-gap- which says 'assessed' in mine. Any update will be great. do post if anyone has heard the good news?
-applicant
Someone on the poli sci rumor mill reported receiving a rejection letter from Guggenheim last week. Has anyone else heard anything?
on NEWTON: my status changed from 'approved' to 'assessed' in the front page- when I clicked 'managed' it says- 'pending'....havent heard from Newton yet...i think the good news should come out by now.
Newton fellowship:
My status is still "approved". No change ever since.
Newton fellowship application:
My status has been changed to "assessed". Last year, people got rejection/offer emails on May 27th. I guess all the applicants this year will get informed next week.
i heard that NEWTON fellowship announced its fellows for 2010...is it true? I have not heard from Newton about its outcome yet?
On Newton fellowship, my application status has been changed to "assessed" today!
My status has changed to assessed.
When I click 'manage' it says Formal Offer: Pending... whatever that means.
About Newton, does anybody else have the following information on e-gap:
Formal Offer: Pending
Final Report: Pending
Interim Report: Pending.
My status still shows 'approved' but a click on 'manage' it brings the above information!
Does anyone know if the Transatlantic Postdoc in International Relations (TAPIR) allows successful applicants to defer their appointment? Know anyone who had successfully requested/received one?
On Newton, the final and interm reports are only for successful application. you will know that you get the fellowship or not from the formal offer.
if your application still "appoved@ and not assessed , you still have to wait longer for the results
Re Newton, Yes I have those three fields now pending too. Yesterday the final report field was blank.
Newton: Mine shows 'assessed' in the first page. In the other page, it shows 'pending, pending pending'.
Re: Newton, I also have the three-Final Offer, Interim Report and Final Report indicating pending. As well under the heading "Assigned To", full name was listed in relation to Interim Report and Final Offer....Don't know what that means....
Any new outcomes on Newton Fellowship?
If the staus is "approved"
what it means?
Just contacted the royal society about Newton: results will be announced in late summer, i.e. early September (sic)!
re: newton is not responding; nothing is changing in e-gap. its been showing pending.
i want to know yes or not.... been waiting for too long.
my status is assessed. but I dont know the result.
It's ridiculous how long the evaluation phase of the Newton fellowship is. February to May/June would have been okay, but February to September? C'mon....
re Newton: I would assume, based on similar fellowship competitions (such as ESRC) that they assess the applications on a point scale according to the criteria etc, and then, when all are assessed, they rank them and offer awards to the top 50. that's probably why some have received an 'assessed' status already, including myself, and others are still waiting.
My status also says assessed, and pending, pending, pending in the application summary...wow...they are gonna anounce the results in September!!! WOW......I guess this means that there is much more applicant than the previous years......hence much lower success rate....
Newton Fellowships: Last year applicants were notified at the end of May, but the application deadline was about a month earlier than it was this year. So maybe we will hear in late June/early July
I am surprised that Newton is going to inform applicants only in September- this is a little crazy, anyway.... although they did say that the results will come out only after 5 months or so...

England is about to phase out the Newton fellowship.
any further news from Newton? Has anybody emailed the email id given in the website?
A Twitter entry says this is meant for the Newton Scholarships and not the Newton Fellowships..here is teh link to the page: http://twitter.com/ResFortnight/status/16386526082
newton scholarship will be cut not newton fellowship.. they are different
http://fundermental.blogspot.com/2010/06/newton-fellowships-amongst-first.html
Re Newton: I dont really see why people are so intense, asking about deadlines, emails etc. just relax and enjoy the ride... oooh, and get to work in the meantime!
http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=412191§ioncode=26
It'll be awfully difficult to make arrangements to move from North America to the United Kingdom for January if I don't hear anything until September.
But why are they saying September anyway, technically 8 JUly should be the completion of five months...so at least by end July all shouldbe through...I think off the cuff Royal Society cannot say September...an email to the info@newton...could be helpful...
message from newton fellowship manager:
"Applications are still going through the assessment process. We hope to announce results by email to the applicants by the end of August or early September."
enjoy waiting guys....
I have just emailed at info@newtonfellowships.org enquiring about the results, this is the answer:
"Applications are still going through the assessment process. We hope to announce results by email to the applicants by the end of August or early September".
Let us be pacient then...
Anyone know what happened with Yale's OCV and/or Harry Frank Guggenheim?
When can we expect a big board for 2010-2011?
I was just informed by the Royal Society that I was awarded a Newton Fellowship. Good luck to everyone else...
Just received a notification (positive!) for the Newton International Fellowship.
Wish I'd heard earlier, since now I may have to decline it....
Just got a (positive) response from Newton: the last round of results are (finally) coming
Newton Fellowship, just got notified about the unsuccessful result...
I just got a negative result too, but I'm not cut up about it. Would have been really difficult for me to take anyways!
Unsuccessful in newton fellowship. Seven months waiting.
who got the Harry Frank Guggenheim dissertation fellowships? Have those been announced anywhere?
Unsuccessful in newton fellowship can anybody tell what is the criteria for selection. Pls successful candidates write about your and host profile.
Anyone knows about 2011 Newton Fellowships results?
