Guidelines for Application
The HBI-BGI Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program is a joint project of the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute and the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry. This residency program provides scholars currently living in, or who have emigrated from, the former Soviet Union (FSU) the opportunity to be in residence at Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University. The purpose of the residency is to allow the Scholar-in-Residence to work on significant projects in the field of Jewish women’s and gender studies. Applicants may apply for either fall 2013 or spring 2014. Residency is for the entire academic semester, i.e., 4 months.
I Program structure
The HBI-BGI Scholar-in-Residence Programs offers housing, a monthly stipend, and coverage of travel expenses from the FSU. The selected scholar will receive shared office space at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University and access to all available Brandeis University resources.
The Recipients may have the opportunity to present their research to the Brandeis community. SIRs also contribute to the HBI’s Donna Sudarsky Memorial Working Paper Series.
