Are you a Ph.D. candidate interested in leveling up your education? The USC Shoah Foundation center for advanced Genocide Research is inviting proposals for its three research fellowships for advanced-standing Ph.D. candidates: the 2021-2022 Margee and Douglas Greenberg Research Fellowship; the 2021-2022 Robert J. Katz Research Fellowship in Genocide Studies; and the 2021-2022 Breslauer, Rutman, and Anderson Research Fellowship. The eligibility requirements and benefits of each fellowship differ slightly.
The fellowships are designed to advance the researches and professional careers of Ph.D. students. The program is initiated to make research accessible and provide considerable funds and opportunities to the deserving students. These fellowships make the research easy and convenient for all the deserving students. The USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research distinguishes itself from other Holocaust and genocide research institutes by offering access to unique research resources and focusing its research efforts on the interdisciplinary study of currently under-researched areas.
Since its founding in 2014, the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research has concentrated its efforts on developing an innovative research agenda. While it welcomes and supports innovative and interdisciplinary research that focuses on genocide in general, the Center’s research programs focus on three distinct areas; Resistance to genocide and mass violence, Violence, emotion, behavioral change, and Digital genocide studies. The Center organizes a rich academic program consisting of international fellowships and annual conferences, a lecture series, and unique research opportunities such as the Interdisciplinary Research Week and the graduate student research workshop with Yad Vashem.
