Fellowship: The Ohio State University, The Center for Historical Research
The Center for Historical Research brings together faculty, students, and the general public to examine the historical foundation and development of critical issues of global importance. The Center offers resident fellowships for senior and junior faculty, as well as those completing dissertations. We also invite members of the academic community and independent scholars to make presentations at our seminars.
For the academic years 2009-2011, we are studying, "The Intersection of Diaspora, Immigration, and Gender in World History." We believe that a gendered analysis of group migrations may reveal new patterns in diaspora and immigration history, shed light on specific migrations, and bridge the historiographical gap between diaspora and immigration histories. A gendered analysis of group
migrations may help us better differentiate the meaning of forced and voluntary migrations, and the processes by which people maintained, discarded, and transformed their cultures, and their host cultures.
For the 2010-2011 academic year we are conducting a fellowship competition and seeking presenters whose research falls in the period from the19th century to the present. We invite scholars from all disciplines, studying any peoples and geographic area(s) relevant to our program. Application information for fellowships can be found on our website, http://chr.osu.edu/, and are due by FEBRUARY 1, 2010.
Those interested in making presentations at the seminars should contact the CHR director, Alan Gallay, at osuchr@osu.edu.
The Ohio State University is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action employer. Women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Fellowship: University of Maine Sustainability Solutions Initiative
Postdoctoral Fellows Program
The University of Maine is launching a national search for Postdoctoral Sustainability Science Fellows. The successful candidates will join a new Sustainability Solutions Initiative (SSI) funded by a 5-year, $20 million NSF EPSCoR grant. SSI includes a team of 30 faculty from a range of disciplines and multiple academic institutions statewide. SSI's transformative research program integrates coupled natural and human systems modeling, stakeholder engagement, and solutions-oriented research activities. Organized under a theme of landscape change, SSI supports multiple research projects focused on urbanization, forest ecosystem management, and climate change. Collectively, these projects speak to various sustainability science challenges and present a unique opportunity to advance the field of sustainability science. A major thrust of SSI is to produce a new generation of scientists who are equipped to work across disciplinary boundaries and adept at collaborative, problem-solving work that spans research and practice. SSI is recruiting a cohort of 4 Postdoctoral Fellows with tentative start dates ranging from February 2010 to April 2010. These initial appointments will be for a one-year duration with an opportunity for renewal. Concurrent SSI recruitment initiatives are seeking applications for 20 to
25 Doctoral Fellows and 4 faculty positions.
Responsibilities: As a cohort, the 4 Postdoctoral Fellows will serve an integrative function to the overall SSI. We seek postdoctoral fellows who can align themselves with one or more ongoing research teams and are willing to assume broader, integrative research responsibilities. The postdoctoral fellows will be expected to participate in ongoing team projects and SSI-wide research activities, such as statewide sustainability problem assessments within the areas of urbanization, forest ecosystem management, climate change, and stakeholder engagement. Core research responsibilities will include planning and completion of research projects, preparation of manuscripts for publication in collaboration with SSI researchers, and presentation of research findings at public and professional meetings. The cohort will also have the opportunity to contribute to the development and implementation of SSI curricula and mentoring programs for graduate and undergraduate students.
Qualifications: A Ph.D. with specialization in biological or earth sciences, communication, engineering, mathematics, natural resource management, public policy, social sciences or a closely related technical or scientific discipline is required by the time of appointment. Preference will be given to candidates with experience working on interdisciplinary research teams.
Applications: Candidates must demonstrate the capacity to support their research programs, produce high-quality scholarship and publications, and advance the SSI research program. Applications must include all of the following materials for consideration: (1) a written statement (2-3 pages) that summarizes both the candidate's research goals and interests in sustainability science and the candidate's capacity and plan for completing the Fellowship responsibilities; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) undergraduate and graduate transcripts; (4) a sample of research (e.g., peer-reviewed publication); and (5) names and contact information of three professional references. Please send materials in PDF form to hallsworth@maine.edu or in hard copy form to Ruth Hallsworth, Mitchell Center for Environmental and Watershed Research, 5710 Norman Smith Hall, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469. Review of applications will begin December 18, 2009.

リベラルアーツカレッジの歴史だけでなく、留学希望者向けに留学先(大学)を選ぶ際に考慮すべき10のポイントなどもお話下さいました。リベラルアーツカレッジの真髄をとらえたとても良いセッションだったので、参加者が少なかったのが残念です。
Maryville Collegeは、全米の中で50番目に古い!非常に歴史のあるテネシー州にあるLiberal Arts Collegeクラスサイズは、平均14名(学生:教授=12:1)と小規模で学生に対するケアが非常に行き届いています。
Maryville Collegeにはじめて留学生が入学したのは、1888年。
はじめての留学生の名前は・・・Mr. Kin Takahashi
彼は、アメフトチームを立ち上げたり、大学に様々な形で貢献されたそうです。
今回は、国際公務員にスポットを当て、国際連合広報センター 所長代行 妹尾靖子さんに、アメリカ留学経験がどのようにキャリア形成に関係してきたかをうかがいました。
妹尾さんは、小学校時代から英語ができるようになりたい ( ><)//、アメリカへ留学したい ( ><)//と強く憧れを抱いていたそうです。そして中学時代ミシガン州での3週間ホームステイを経て、日本の大学卒業後、ロータリー奨学金をもらってアメリカの大学院へ留学。niversity of Texas, Austionの大学院でMiddle Eastern Studiesを勉強されました。(MA in Middle Eastern Studies取得)
留学後国連で働こうと思ったきっかけは、留学時代、専門でパレスチナ難民をリサーチしているなかで、国連に資料送付照会したとき、快く資料送付してくれたことからだそうです。
そして、将来国連で働きたくて留学を考える人たちへのメッセージとしては、語学力は重要だが英語はツールに過ぎないこと(国連のworking languageは、英語とフランス語)、英語で働ける専門分野をもっておくこと、自分の将来の進路をポジティブに楽観的に考えること、など話してくださいました。
以下にセミナーに参加された方の感想をご紹介します。
・ 国際公務員という、普段接する機会のない方からお話しを伺え、とても良い経験になりました。楽しかったです!自分の人生設計に役立てたいと思います。何よりもまず、自分が一番何をしたいかを考えてみます。
・ 妹尾さん自身のご経験だけでなく、様々な質問に答えて頂けてよかったです。国連で働くということは、やはり厳しいことなのだと改めて思いました。特に情報収集、語学力、専門性が重要だと痛感しました。
・ とてもいい体験になりました。直接留学した経験のある人と会う機会があまりなく具体的なイメージを描くことができました。
国連広報センターでは、インターンを受け入れているそうです。インターンシップはその機関について知る非常によい機会です。インターンシップの詳細は、国連広報センターのウェブサイトをご覧下さい。
10月から11月にかけて全国6箇所(札幌、仙台、名古屋、京都、福岡、沖縄)で開催致しましたアメリカ留学相談会、無事今年も終了致しました!
ご参加頂きました皆様、その後、留学準備は順調に進んでいらっしゃいますか?
関係者の皆様、ご協力頂き有り難うございました。m(_ _)m
ここで参加者の方々の相談会へ参加しての感想をいくつかご紹介したいと思います。
・ 各テストを比較しながら検討でき、準備・計画を立てるよい機会になりました。
・ 実際に行かれた先輩のお話を聞くことが出来て、漠然とした不安が少し晴れました。
・ 様々な英語に関する資格について詳しいお話しを聞くことが出来てよかったです。インターネット上には、たくさんの情報が行き交っていて、どのように情報収集をすればいいのか戸惑っていたところだったので、実際に話を聞くことで少しすっきりとした気がします。
・ とても勉強になりました。まず、TOEFL, 英検、IELTSについて知識がより身に付きましたし、大学・大学院についてもインターネットでの情報収集では限界があったところも、説明して頂けたのでよかったです。また、実際に留学された方の実体験のお話しも聞けて、自分も行きたいという意思が強くなりました。
・ やる気を刺激された。留学体験談を直接聞くことが出来、励まされた気がした。
・ 漠然としていた留学ですが、今回の説明会で自分が何をやりたいのか、何をまずすべきかが少し見えてきた気がします。アメリカ留学に向けて頑張っていきたいです。
・ 体験談を聞けたのはとてもためになりました。試験の説明も具体的&映像や音声も見せて(聞かせて)もらえてイメージがわきました。
たくさんの素晴らしい感想_ψ(~∇~ ) を有り難うございました。
感想にもありますように、昨今、「情報」は以前と比べ、インターネットなどで簡単に手に入ります。
しかしいつでも情報が手に入るため、しっかり理解するまで読みこなせていない場合も多くあるかと思います。実際に説明を聞く事で、ご自身の理解を再確認したり、見落としていた情報を収集できます。また留学経験者の生の声を聞いたり、ご自身と同じように留学を目指している他の参加者からも、いい刺激をうけるという意味でも、説明会に足を運んで頂くということにまだまだ意義があると思います。
東京では、ほぼ毎月説明会を行っています。皆様も留学説明会を「体験」してみませんか?
次回は、12月2日(水)開催です。(EIS)
