Programs Overview
2006-2007 Visiting Fellows Program
The Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego invites applications for Research Fellowships and non-stipend Guest Scholar affiliations at the postdoctoral level and at the advanced (ABD) graduate student level. Fellowship stipends are commensurate with experience and academic rank. Awards support the write-up stage of research on any aspect of contemporary Mexico, Mexican history, and U.S.-Mexican relations. Comparative studies with a substantial Mexico component are encouraged. The Center currently has two in-house projects with funds earmarked for research fellowships-on rural financial markets and rural development; and on public health and HIV/AIDS policy in Mexico; applications are not restricted to these topics. Former Visiting Fellows are eligible to reapply to the Center five years after their initial residence period.
Deadline for receipt of applications: January 13, 2006.

Post Doc Program
The Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego invites applications for two postdoctoral fellowships (open to applicants from any discipline) for research related to Mexico or U.S.-Mexican relations. Postdoctoral fellows are expected to be in residence for a period of two academic years and to teach an average of one class per year in an academic unit of UCSD. Stipends range from $3000-$5000 per month (plus benefits, on a 12-month basis) commensurate with experience and academic rank. Applicants must plan to complete the PhD by August 2006. Current funding sources are restricted to citizens of Mexico or recent graduates with advanced degrees from any campus of the University of California system. We do not expect to be able to fund postdoctoral fellows from outside these two groups during the 2006-2007 academic year.
Deadline for receipt of applications: November 1, 2005.
