The Leonor Michaelis Fellowship of ?850 (€1,200) per month is granted for a year starting in October 2006 (extension possible). Applicants should have completed their studies in the humanities or sciences with an outstanding degree and should be interested in Jewish history.The planned research should fit in with the project 'Jews in German Academia in the 19th and 20th Centuries' of the Leo Baeck Institute (www.leobaeck.co.uk/research) and deal with developments in one of the following disciplines: biology, chemistry, history, classical philology, philosophy, physics, theoretical medicine. Founded in 1955, the Leo Baeck Institute London is one of the leading research institutes in the field of German Jewish history. The Institute is connected to the British university system in various ways and jointly organises the Masters and PhD programme 'European Jewish History, Culture and Thought' (with the University of Sussex).

Applications including CV, research proposal, and the names and addresses of three referees should be submitted by 30 April 2006 to: Leo Baeck Institute London, 4 Devonshire Street, London W1W 5LB. Leonor Michaelis (1875-1949), founder of quantitative enzymology, was one of the great figures of German biochemistry in the beginning of the 20th century. A combination of three factors prevented him from receiving an academic position in Germany: he was Jewish, held liberal views, and distinguished himself by a scientific orientation and extremely exact experimentation which was unusual in German medical biochemistry at the time.In 1922, he emigrated to Japan and later to the USA where he became a member of the Rockefeller Institute for Medicine in New York.

They are not part of the actual position description submitted for
publication by the employer. Institution Type: College/University Position Type: Research Professional Applications are invited for a 3 month (Senior) Visiting Research Fellowships at the Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of Singapore to commence on 2 January 2007, 2 April 2007, 2 July 2007. The positions are intended for outstanding active researchers on Asian topics, with a balance anticipated between senior and junior, the Asian region and the world. At least one published outcome is expected, and applicants who do not normally publish in English will be encouraged and assisted to do so. Interdisciplinary interests are encouraged. "Asia" as a research field is defined loosely in terms of the region in which Singapore is positioned. The positions will be allocated to one of the ARI clusters, sketched below. Most of these represent the Institute's current areas of research focus, while the "open cluster" ensures openness to any innovative and promising project in the social sciences and humanities. Applicants should mention which category they are applying in, and which term. Terms and conditions (Senior) Visiting Fellowships:This 3 month fellowship comes with a competitive remuneration and benefits package, depending on seniority, in the range Sing$3,000 - $10,000 a month. Areas of research focus 1) The changing family (Prof Gavin Jones) focuses on changing family forms, roles and structures in Asian societies, as other institutions take over some family functions, low fertility, delayed marriage and longevity transform family composition, and labour market realities and changing gender relations affect internal family dynamics. 2) Migration (Prof Brenda Yeoh) explores the issues arising from increased levels of human mobility in the region, both within and across national borders. Mobility of high-level professional and managerial personnel, labour migration, both documented and undocumented, and human trafficking all raise theoretical and methodological questions and major policy issues, as does the role of migration in urban change. 3) Religion and Globalisation (Prof Bryan Turner) explores the changing patterns of religious practice, belief and identity in recent times,particularly in Southeast Asia,China and South Asia.The title implies a particular interest in transnational and diasporic interactions, the engagement with modern technologies and values, and new global or 'glocal' forms of identity. 4) Cultural Studies in Asia (Prof Chua Beng Huat) consciously challenges disciplinary boundaries to address new topics, issues and concerns thrown up by the rapid globalization of contemporary cultures. ARI is interested in new understandings of the everyday life cultural practices of contemporary Asia, as in adaptations of older patterns in literature, and the performing and graphic arts, in rapidly changing contemporary conditions. 5) Southeast Asia China interactions (Prof Anthony Reid) explores both historical and contemporary themes that are bringing East and Southeast Asia closer together, and is interested in any mix of the political, economic, cultural or social. This includes a particular project on Southeast Asian Archeology (A/Prof John Miksic) focussing on early historic sites of Southeast Asia--early trade; urbanization; maritime archaeology; intercommunication between sites; and ceramics. 6) The Open category provides an opportunity for outstanding research on Asia in any area. It will particularly welcome proposals to make an important body of innovative research available in English. The Asia Research Institute (ARI) was established in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the National University of Singapore (NUS). Anthony Reid became the founding Director a year later. ARI engages the social sciences broadly defined, and especially interdisciplinary frontiers between and beyond disciplines. Through frequent provision of short-term research appointments it seeks to be a place of encounters between the region and the world. Within NUS it works particularly with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Law, School of Business and School of Design & Environment, to support research, conferences, lectures and graduate study at the highest level. Interested applicants are invited to email/mail their curriculum vitae (including details of referees and email), a synopsis of the research project, at least one sample of their published work, and ensure that 2 or 3 referees submit directly to us a report on their academic standing and comment on their research project by 31 May 2006.

The Tucker/Cohen prize is awarded annually (if there is a distinguished submission) for an outstanding doctoral dissertation in the tradition of historical political science and political history of the Soviet Union as practiced by Robert C.Tucker and Stephen F. Cohen. The prize will be awarded for the first time at the AAASS convention in Washington, D.C., November 2006, for any dissertation defended in 2005. By April 15, 2006, faculty supervisors should nominate no more than one dissertation, sending to each committee member listed below their letter and a 700-1000-word abstract from the candidate, specifying the location, sources, and general findings of the research. (Candidates may also initiate the nomination, but it must come from their advisors.) The committee will read this material and then request copies of the dissertations that best meet the criteria, as defined in the statement below. The committee consists of Alex Rabinowitch (2512 Buttonwood Lane, Bloomington, IN 47401), chair; William Taubman (Amherst College, Department of Political Science, Amherst, MA 01002); and Elizabeth Wood, (History Faculty, MIT, E51-180, 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139). The dissertation
may originate in any university department. While it may involve
other Soviet republics, preference will be given to those that focus
primarily on Russia during one or more periods between October 1917
and December 1991. And while it may include social, cultural, economic,
international or other dimensions, its primary subject and analytical
purpose should be in the realm of domestic politics, as broadly
understood in public or academic life. The dissertation must be
defended during the year prior to the award. A nomination will consist
of an abstract of 700-1000 words and a detailed letter from the
dissertation's main faculty supervisor, explaining the ways in which
the work is truly outstanding in both its empirical and its interpretive
contributions. Awardees must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents,
