Visiting Ph.D. Fellowships: Resisting the Path to Genocide

Resisting the Path to Genocide, a USC Dornsife 2020 Research Cluster at the University of Southern California, offers short-term funding for one visiting Ph.D. candidate per academic year. The grant will be up to $4000 and shall allow the candidate to conduct research at USC for four weeks.

We are accepting international applications from Ph.D. candidates at any university, from any relevant discipline, who are working on a subject relevant to the cluster’s activities. (Information about the questions and the scope of the research cluster can be found at http://dornsife.usc.edu/2020-resistance.)

An interdisciplinary committee of faculty members involved with the research cluster will select the candidate, who will be chosen on the basis of:

• how closely the candidate’s research relates to the topic of genocide resistance, and can contribute to scholarly discussion of genocide resistance within the cluster
• the extent to which the use of USC’s resources will enable the candidate to further his or her ongoing research, or to conduct a smaller research project during the length of his or her stay at USC
