The Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania announces openings in the Annenberg Center for Advanced Study in Communication (ACASC) Fellowship Program.

Purpose:

The ACASC fellowship program aims to contribute to the professional training of scholars with a background in communication, public health, or related disciplines. Working with research area directors, fellows identify policy relevant research questions that may be addressed by APPC datasets, including recent large-scale content analyses of media (related to youth and health-risk behavior) and on-going national surveys of parents and youth (see annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org for examples of this work).  Fellows have access to the extensive academic resources and training options available through the University.  In addition, they are encouraged to develop new professional skills (such as use of multivariate data analytic techniques) in a mentored, community-oriented environment.

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants for this year's fellowship openings should have expertise in child and adolescent development, a strong statistics background, and a recent PhD (2005-2010).  Fellows are expected to reside in the Philadelphia area and must have their PhD in hand by the start of the fellowship. 

Total Awards:

Up to three scholars will be selected to begin the program in 2011.  Start date is flexible.  Fellows receive a one-time moving stipend, a competitive salary, and benefits.  The program is designed for a 12- to 18-month term.

How to apply:

Applications should include a cover letter, a CV, a writing sample, and the names/contact information for three references.  Applications and enquiries should be submitted electronically to the fellowship director, Amy Jordan, at ajordan at asc.upenn.edu.  Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.  Additional information may be obtained at www.appcpenn.org (click on the tab "Advanced Study in Communication").
