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.
