Graig M Cogut Visiting Professorship

The Craig M. Cogut Visiting Professorship brings leading scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean to Brown University to teach and conduct research. Visiting Professors are based at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. Cogut Professors teach one undergraduate course on Latin America and/or the Caribbean per semester, meet with undergraduate and graduate students, and give presentations on campus through CLACS or affiliated units. The Craig M. Cogut Visiting Professorship provides a salary, an optional medical insurance package, a modest research fund, and administrative assistance. Appointments are possible for one or two semesters.

Qualifications
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in any discipline in the humanities and social sciences and be either (1) a foreign national who is eligible to obtain a J-1 visa or (2) a U.S. citizen or resident. Although the fellowship is open to any scholar working on Latin America and the Caribbean, we are especially interested in receiving applications from scholars working on Central America and/or the Caribbean.

Application Instructions
Applications should include: (1) a cover letter describing your research and teaching accomplishments, and including your proposed length of stay (one or two semesters, and preference of semester, if coming for one); (2) a current C.V.; (3) a list of up to three professional references; and (4) a one-page description of the proposed course or courses that you would like to teach as a Visiting Professor (the course/s may be taught in English, Spanish or Portuguese). Optionally, if the applicant has existing ties to colleagues at Brown, a brief note of support from a CLACS-affiliated Brown faculty member may also be sent under separate cover to CLACS.
