Postdoc at Columbia University

POSTDOC: Committee on Global Thought, Columbia University

The newly formed Committee on Global Thought at Columbia University in New York City
seeks Post-doctoral Fellows for the academic year 2007-2008.  The goal of the Committee
is to provide a space for cross-disciplinary, transnational, and otherwise expansive
exploration of the world, including processes of globalization, comparisons past and
present, and pressing contemporary issues.  The Committee welcomes applicants from all
disciplines and seeks a mix of fellows from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities
to help create a new agenda for global thinking and action. Fellows will be expected to
teach or assist with one undergraduate or graduate course as well as to plan and
participate in symposia and other activities of the Committee.  The remaining half of
the Fellow's time will be devoted to individual research. Salaries will be competitive.

Please send CV, a letter explaining research interests and plans for research and writing
during your tenure with the Committee, at least one paper or other suitable evidence of
scholarship, and three letters of reference to:

Dr. Joseph Stiglitz
Chair, Committee on Global Thought
814 Uris Hall
