Harvard Graduate School of Education

The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications
from
scholars for a two year residential postdoctoral fellowship. In
particular, we encourage applications from recent Ph.D.s or Ed.D.s who
are
members of ethnic minority groups that are under-represented in American

universities. Special consideration will be given to applicants who
show
commitment to careers in university research and teaching related to the

improvement of education, and whose life experiences and research will
contribute to diversity and excellence at the School. We particularly
encourage applications from individuals whose research makes the links
among theory, practice, and policy, and whose substantive interests lie
in
the field of cognitive science - especially the domains of mathematics
and
science education - and in the realm of educational policy and school
reform, including a focus on issues of school choice, accountability,
vouchers, and charter schools.

The Program
Two fellows will be chosen for residence at HGSE during both academic
years
2003-04 and 2004-05. The fellows will participate in a seminar, led by
a
senior member of the HGSE faculty, that will provide a forum for
presentation and critique of their research and writing, and discussion
of
issues related to their professional development and career
opportunities.
Fellows will teach one course during each of the two academic years, and

will give an annual public lecture to the HGSE community about their
research.

Applicants will select a senior member of the HGSE faculty* who will
serve
as their mentor during their tenure in the fellowship program. Mentors
will meet on a regular basis with the fellows.

Stipend and Allowances
Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $40,000 plus a housing
supplement. Fellows will be eligible for a travel supplement of up to
$1,000 each year for participation in professional conferences, and up
to
$3,000 per fellowship for course development activities.

Eligibility
Applicants must be within two years of receiving the Ph.D. or Ed.D.
Their
degree must be completed by July 2003 and cannot have been awarded prior
to
May 2001. Applicants should send a letter of application which includes

the following elements: a proposal for a two year plan of research and
teaching that identifies a senior member of the HGSE faculty who might
serve as a mentor and provides a rationale for the selection of the
mentor*
that links the applicant's work to that of the faculty member. The
applicant's statement should offer a detailed account of his/her
proposed
research and its relationship to the field of education. Two examples
of
academic writing and three letters of reference from individuals who are

knowledgeable about the applicant's academic work must be included.
Reference letters may be mailed separately, and all documents must be
received in the form of hard copy.

*Profiles of HGSE senior faculty members (i.e., "Professors") can be
found
at http://www.gse.harvard.edu/faculty_profiles.html

Deadline
All application materials must be received by no later than February 3,
2003, at the following address:

Professor Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot
Chair, Harvard Fellows on Race, Culture,
and Education
c/o Gail Keeley
Harvard Graduate School of Education
