Postdoctoral Native American Studies Research Fellowship


Colleagues, I received this information from Ray Fornes in Physics, who is NCSU's point of contact with Oak Ridge Affiliated Universities (ORAU). This may be a very good opportunity for CHASS. Please share with any colleagues who may find this interesting.

Dear Colleagues:
The National Institute of Justice is seeking proposals for the funding of one or more postdoctoral Native American Studies Research Fellowships to applicants who show the greatest potential for future achievement as scholars and researchers, and who can demonstrate experience relevant to the unique demands of working with tribal communities, including experience working in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages. As the principal research agency within the Department, NIJ is dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues through science. The program offers scientists an opportunity to participate full-time on research addressing tribal crime, victimization, and justice issues relevant to the work of NIJ and public policy.
For assistance with substantive requirements of this solicitation, contact Christine Crossland, Senior Social Science Analyst, by telephone at 202–616–5166or by e-mail at
