The Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy: Visiting Scholars

 

The Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, invites college and university professors with established records of scholarship to apply for appointments as Visiting Scholars for the academic year running from August 17, 2020 to May 16, 2021.

All Visiting Scholars will spend an academic year in residence at UW–Madison. They enjoy access to the Memorial Union and a wide range of other facilities and activities throughout the University. Visiting Scholars are expected to devote full time to their proposed research. They are, however, also expected to attend or to participate in various activities of the Center, including faculty-graduate student seminars, colloquia, and public lectures. All CSLD Visiting Scholars must have a doctorate or equivalent degree. Fellowships are open to all regardless of citizenship. Visiting Scholars normally receive a stipend of up to one-half their academic-year salary. The fellows’ home institutions are expected to provide at least half of their academic-year salaries in addition to all benefits.

The deadline to apply is January 15, 2020.
