New York University Dissertation Fellow (Program is currently suspended)

The American Studies Department at Skidmore College offers ABD New York University students a fellowship known as the NYU Minority Dissertation Fellowship in American Studies. The recipient of this Fellowship teaches two courses a year to undergraduates, both in the Spring term, including a team-taught section of Methods and Approaches in American Studies and a course in the fellow's dissertation field or other area of expertise. The fellow will have only light administrative duties in the Fall term in order to allow for dissertation work and course preparation. Some teaching experience is required as well as a strong desire to be mentored by colleagues in the department.
