Postdoc: Migration among African Muslims--looks interesting:
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH NETWORK
‘THE RELIGIOUS LIVES OF MIGRANTS’
WISER invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship within the international research network on The Religious Lives of Migrants. The fellow will be required to work on the role of religious networks and ethics amongst African Muslims in South Africa. Prior research experience in the area of Islam and/or migration in Africa will be a strong recommendation. The successful applicant will be provided with a stipend, coverage of research costs in South Africa, institutional affiliation with WISER and funding for travel to three to four international seminars and conferences within the network.
WISER invites applications from candidates who hold PhDs in anthropology, sociology, religious studies or related disciplines, and who have substantial experience in carrying out independent ethnographic and empirical research.
The project seeks to explore the question of the role of religion in the lives and coping strategies of international migrants. The aim is to undertake detailed ethnographic research in a number of locations (including London, Kuala Lumpur and Johannesburg). The project includes a series of international workshops and conferences in the cities where the research is undertaken, as well as in New York from where the project is coordinated by the Social Science Research Council with support from the Ford Foundation.
The fellowship is for 18 months, but may be extended, dependent on future funding.
The fellow will conduct empirical research in South Africa (preferably in Johannesburg) in close collaboration with senior researchers at WISER, and Professor Thomas Blom Hansen (Professor of Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam).
Interviews for this fellowship will take place early in February.
The fellow should be available to start work within reasonably short time.
A detailed description of the international research network ‘The Religious Lives of Migrants’ as well as details of the research plans in South Africa within this network can be obtained from Professor Thomas Blom Hansen T.B.Hansen@uva.nl or
Thomas.Hansen@yale.edu
Applications should be emailed to Professor Jonathan Hyslop, Acting Director of WISER
hyslopj@wiser.wits.ac.za
with the words ‘Fellowship Application’ in the subject line.
Applications must include:

Cornell also maintains a database, at http://www.gradschool.cornell. edu/?p=132

figured I'd post this info, even though I'm sure everyone else who applied got the same email. The U of Minnesota post-doc program anticipates making a decision by the second week of Feb. So at least it sounds like they won't wait too horribly long to let people know :) ~Felix~

All the RWJ sites get offered at the same time, but they start with the double-matches (i.e. if sites ranked you in their top 3; and you ranked them #1). Then it filters down from there. The matching is all done at the foundation--the sites don't even know who has gotten the offers until after everyone has accepted.
Take this with a grain of salt, but it's my understanding of how it works.
Has anyone gotten a second-round offer yet (i.e., didn't hear on Monday but has heard today)? Or, for those with past experience with this, do you know how long after the first round a second round goes out?
On UMN postdoc: Just got an email saying they have not made selections due to illness of someone on the committee. I assume everyone got the same email?
I have a couple of questions about the UMN postdoc in case anyone has ideas.
1) Do you understand this to be a diversity fellowship in the sense of attempting to attract scholars of color, or are they looking for people of any race whose work focuses on diversity?
2) Does anyone know how many applicants are still under consideration?
While several of the postdocs are solely humanities oriented, a lot are multidisciplinary, and it seems to be updated fairly frequently. That's the bright side. The less bright side is that they don't seem to have much more information than we do.
I did not hear from penn either. But i read on the humanities wiki that penn was planning to notify their short list in mid april. i have not contacted them myself

To ensure full consideration, all materials should be received by 2/28/07. Stanford is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.
these are two separate positions, right? Whoever posted it (or other informed people), do you know if it is ok to send a single application for both of them?
figured I'd post this info, even though I'm sure everyone else who applied got the same email. The U of Minnesota post-doc program anticipates making a decision by the second week of Feb. So at least it sounds like they won't wait too horribly long to let people know :)

The Moore Fellowship at UT has contacted finalists for interviews.
Cornell has contacted it's short list for the Contentious Politics postdoc positions.

Have the RWJ offers been announced yet?
RWJ Health Policy, yes; RWJ Health & Society, not yet--look for it early next week.
Does anyone know if RWJ notifies you via email, phone, or snail mail?
RWJ notifies by phone and snail mail.
If you get an offer from RWJ, you'll also get an email. This is for the Health & Society program.
health and society emails started going out today
Does anyone know which specific Health & Society sites people have gotten offers from? I've heard of Michigan and Harvard so far.
All the RWJ sites get offered at the same time, but they start with the double-matches (i.e. if sites ranked you in their top 3; and you ranked them #1). Then it filters down from there. The matching is all done at the foundation--the sites don't even know who has gotten the offers until after everyone has accepted.
Take this with a grain of salt, but it's my understanding of how it works.
The RWJ sites DO find out who has received offers before they have accepted.
Has anyone gotten a second-round offer yet (i.e., didn't hear on Monday but has heard today)? Or, for those with past experience with this, do you know how long after the first round a second round goes out?
I think the health policy folks have to decide by 5pm today. So I would imagine that second round offers will probably follow shortly thereafter.
It can take all week for the H&S RWJ offers to get out, or even longer. So don't give up hope!
Has anyone heard from the University of Minnesota Postdoc program yet?
Re: U Minnesota postdoc - I haven't heard anything yet.
Re: Minnesota post-doc. I haven't heard anything since the mass email in January.
On UMN postdoc: Just got an email saying they have not made selections due to illness of someone on the committee. I assume everyone got the same email?
I have a couple of questions about the UMN postdoc in case anyone has ideas.
1) Do you understand this to be a diversity fellowship in the sense of attempting to attract scholars of color, or are they looking for people of any race whose work focuses on diversity?
2) Does anyone know how many applicants are still under consideration?
Cornell's Contentious Politics postdoc search has made offers which were accepted.
RWJ health and Society Scholars has made all of their choices.
Anyone know about other postdocs? I applied to quite a few that closed around Feb. 1 at Michigan, Princeton, Duke, among others.
Thanks!
I just came across a humanities postdoc wiki:
http://wikihost.org/wikis/
academe/wiki/humanities_post-docs
While several of the postdocs are solely humanities oriented, a lot are multidisciplinary, and it seems to be updated fairly frequently. That's the bright side. The less bright side is that they don't seem to have much more information than we do.

I know people who have received Michigan and Princeton post-doc offers
FYI - U Minnesota has sent rejection emails for the post-doc.
Does anyone know much about the UCLA Global Fellows postdoc? Is it extremely competitive? Any idea when and how they make decisions?
Does anyone have news about the Stanford postdocs?
I heard that the two Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality post-docs had been offered and accepted.
anybody heard from mellon teaching post-doc at upenn?
I did not hear from penn either. But i read on the humanities wiki that penn was planning to notify their short list in mid april. i have not contacted them myself
Has anyone heard anything about the Duke transnational sexualities post doc?
