Dear Mark,

Here is another exciting opportunity. Can you please post to all relevant lists?
Thank you!

PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY

The Program in Asian American Studies and the Institute for Advanced Study at
the University of Minnesota are pleased to announce a new 2009-2010 Postdoctoral
Fellowship in any field of Hmong Studies, generously funded by a grant from the
Henry Luce Foundation.

Applicants should conduct research germane to Hmong Studies. Proposed
research projects should have the potential to make a significant
contribution to the field.

During their stay at the University of Minnesota, postdoctoral fellows will be
expected to participate in research, teaching, and service. While research is
the primary responsibility, fellows will be expected to teach one course related
to their research interests and consonant with the curricular needs of the Asian
American Studies program. In addition, fellows are expected to give one talk on
campus on their research project.

The stipend for 2009-2010 year will be $45,000, with full fringe benefits. The
program will provide the fellow with office space and routine office support for
photocopying, faxing, mailing, etc.

A doctoral degree in hand is required by August 31, 2009. Preference will be
given to applicants who have completed their degrees in the past five years. The
postdoctoral fellowship will begin on August 31, 2009, is for one year, and is
non-renewable.

Applications should be completed on-line at the UMN jobsite
http://employment.umn.edu/ (search for requisition # 160379).

To guarantee full consideration, application materials should be submitted to
the Institute for Advanced Study by April 15, 2009.
