The newly formed Committee on Global
Thought at Columbia University in New York City seeks Post-doctoral Fellows
for the academic year 2007-2008. The goal of the Committee is to provide
a space for cross-disciplinary, transnational, and otherwise expansive
exploration of the world, including processes of globalization, comparisons
past and present, and pressing contemporary issues. The Committee welcomes
applicants from all disciplines, and seeks a mix of fellows from the sciences,
social sciences, and humanities to help create a new agenda for global
thinking and action.
Fellows will be expected to teach or assist with one undergraduate or
graduate course as well as to plan and participate in symposia and other
activities of the Committee. The remaining half of the Fellow's time will
be devoted to individual research. Salaries will be competitive.
Please send CV, a letter explaining research interests and plans for research
and writing during your tenure with the Committee, at least one paper
or other suitable evidence of scholarship, and three letters of reference
to:
Dr. Joseph Stiglitz
