CSDE Fellowships 2008-2009 Call for Applications
CSDE is pleased to announce the availability of fellowships for students with interests in population issues for the academic year 2008-2009. To be eligible, applicants must be current or prospective graduate students in one of the following departments or school of the University of Washington:
Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Social Work, Statistics
CSDE fellowships fund graduate students with research interests in population issues from two sources:
- Shanahan Fellowships are open to all students
- NICHD Training Fellowships are restricted to US Citizens and Permanent Residents
We expect up to six fellowships from these two sources will be open for either incoming or continuing students. Fellowships are renewable after the first year.
Applications for these fellowships should include:
- An application letter from the student stating academic and research plans.
- Two letters of recommendation.
- A current transcript.
Applications from current UW graduate students should include a statement of satisfactory progress from the director of graduate studies/graduate advisor in their home department or school.
Successful applicants will be expected to take the core sequence of courses in demography that include CSDE 502, CSDE/Sociology 513 and Sociology 433. In addition, they will enroll in and regularly attend the weekly CSDE seminar series (CSDE 501), and work for 15-19 hours per week with a CSDE faculty affiliate of their choosing on a mutually agreed topic. Students must be in continuous residence while holding the fellowship.
Completed applications must be received by 5 pm on Friday, March 14th, 2008
