Visiting Ph.D. fellowships will allow one outside Ph.D. candidate per semester, starting in Spring 2011, to visit USC for 4 weeks. After an international application process, he/she would be selected by a committee of the research cluster, based on his or her research on a subject related to the cluster topic and a small research project for the length of the stay and the use of USC resources.
The fellow would be expected to provide the cluster with fresh outside ideas, to play a role in the cluster activities and give a paper at one of the internal workshops. This would enhance the discussion on the cluster subject, foster a network of future scholars and grad students beyond USC-limits, and promote USC as place of Holocaust and Genocide studies.
