The fellowship is open to any scholar working on Latin America and the Caribbean, but we are especially interested in hearing from scholars working on intra-Latin American and or Caribbean migration, especially at the intersections of race and ethnicity. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in any discipline in the humanities and social sciences. In exceptional circumstances, we may consider applicants with professional qualifications and extensive experience in academia, the arts, and the public service. This position is not open to junior faculty.
