[Theodore Hughes]

Dear colleagues,

Please see below for a postdoctoral fellowship opportunity at Columbia  
University.

Sincerely,

Ted Hughes

The Weatherhead East Asian Institute invites applications for a
postdoctoral fellowship through the International Network to Expand Regional
and Collaborative Teaching (INTERACT) program at Columbia University. This
fellowship is for the academic year 2012-2013 and is open to scholars
conducting research on East Asia and Southeast Asia within a global context.

About INTERACT

INTERACT is a pioneering program at Columbia University that focuses on
developing global studies in the undergraduate curriculum through a network
of postdoctoral scholars focused on cross-regional, trans-regional and
interdisciplinary study. Columbia University will offer several INTERACT
Postdoctoral Fellowships in the 2012-2013 academic year, with candidates
selected by centers and institutes across the University. Candidates will
function as liaisons between their home office and the INTERACT network of
scholars with other regional and disciplinary specializations.

The Weatherhead East Asian Institute is pleased to offer one INTERACT
Fellowship to an outstanding scholar of modern and contemporary East Asia
with a demonstrated emphasis on global context and connections. The
fellowship will cover a 10-month period beginning August 1, 2012, and comes
with a stipend of $45,000 plus benefits. INTERACT's primary goal is to
improve global literacy among Columbia students and equip them to be leaders
in a globalizing world. These objectives will be met through innovative
courses, participating in Institute programs and events, and an annual
outreach event organized collaboratively by INTERACT Fellows.
