The Affiliated Scholars Program at the University of Southern California
invites scholars who hold the Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree and have
demonstrated excellence in feminist scholarship in any field to pursue
gender-related research projects in association with the USC Center for
Feminist Research and faculty.  Although there is no stipend, Affiliated
Scholars have official university appointments in the College of Letters,
Arts, and Sciences and are provided with various resources.  Scholars are
expected to be in residence during the period of their award.

Privileges and benefits include:
- The designation "Affiliated Scholar, USC Center for Feminist Research"
- USC Faculty library privileges for the duration of the residence at USC
- Use of CFR stationery
- The opportunity to take part in activities sponsored by CFR
- Computer access and an e-mail account

Funding must be generated by the individual either from her or his
university or other non-USC sources.  A prospective scholar may wish to
investigate the circumstances under which living expenses while in
residence may be tax-deductible.

Participation in CFR programs may include a presentation at a Faculty
Research Seminar or an on-campus lecture each semester.  CFR Affiliated
Scholars are expected to participate in the activities sponsored by CFR
and to involve themselves in the USC community.

Applications should include a cv and a brief research proposal (not to
exceed three pages) which outlines the specific objectives, methodology,
and proposed end product.  There is no special application form.  The
proposal should emphasize the relationship of the project to resources
available at USC and in Los Angeles, and should state the preferred dates
of residence.  Scholars are appointed either for a semester or an academic
year, subject to renewal.

Scholars will be selected based on the quality of the research proposal
and its relevance to the interests of the USC feminist
community.  Selections for the Affiliated Scholar will be made on a
rolling basis.  Please note, however, that the Steering Committee does not
meet between May and September.  All applicants will be notified by mail.

Applications should be sent to
