Freedom and Security Scholars (and/or Artist!) in Residence
The Center for Western Civilization, Thought & Policy invites applications to join our new, interdisciplinary community of Scholars in Residence. One Scholar in Residence will be hired in collaboration with the Department of Economics, and one Scholar/Artist in Residence will be hired in collaboration with the Department of Art and Art History. Applicants may be junior candidates or senior scholars. Selections will be made on the basis of candidates’ relevance to our theme for the year, “Freedom and Security”, as well as on their ability to promote the larger mission of the CWCTP.
The CWCTP Scholar in Residence is a one-year, non-tenure-track, Scholar-in-Residence appointment. An extended letter of interest should describe in some detail the candidate’s fit with the Center’s theme and larger mission, and it should also describe a research or intellectual project to be accomplished over the course of the year.
The letter should articulate the intellectual significance of this project, the sort of tangible results that will be achieved by the end of the appointment, and how those results can contribute to the Center, the Department of Economics or the Deparment of Art and Art History, and the broader university community. In addition, applications should include a CV and list of at least three references.
