    The University of San Francisco invites applications from underrepresented ethnic minority scholars for the USF Dissertation Fellowship Program for academic year 2007-2008.

Scholars teach one course in the discipline each semester and serve the University in various capacities. The Program provides a stipend of $32,000 and limited support for relocation and research-related expenses. Additional support includes office space, computer and library privileges.

Candidates must have completed all course work leading to the doctorate by summer 2007 and must be considering a career in college teaching. We are searching in the following field: College of Arts and Sciences: Media Studies.

    Applicants should submit a letter of application (indicating area of expertise), curriculum vitae, transcripts, dissertation prospectus, brief description of research plans, evidence of teaching ability (including student evaluations), and three letters of recommendation to:

Well, I'm not David, but I would assume the dissertation fellowship is for PhD students who will be on their last year during 2007-2008.

Now the question I have is... is it open to students of other universities or just there in SF? Would people from another place then move to SF for their final year?

hello hiperleitura e escrita! yes, the dissertation fellowship is for a student writing a phd dissertation rather than a master's thesis.

hey mark, good to hear from you! the dissertation fellowship in media studies is open to students outside of USF; we don't have a phd program in media studies here at USF.
