CICS International Security and Development Fellowship
2013-2014 Call for Applications
The Center for International and Comparative Studies (CICS) announces a call for applications for the 2013-2014 International
Security and Development Fellowship. The fellowship is a one-year appointment that provides salary and/or research
funding in the amount of $16,000. The fellowship is intended to promote undergraduate education on international security
and/or development at U-M by developing a new course with significant international content and an interdisciplinary
perspective. This course will initially be offered through the International Studies program and will subsequently become
part of the curriculum of the fellow’s home department.
The intention is for the course to become a permanent part of the department’s curriculum. We also encourage joint
applications from members of two or more departments or units, in which case the applicants will divide the stipend.
ELIGIBILITY
U-M-Ann Arbor regular instructional staff members, in any department, are eligible to apply.
REQUIREMENTS
During the 2013-14 academic year, the International Security and Development Fellow is expected to:
1. Develop and teach an undergraduate seminar on international security and cooperation or development on a topic
with significant international content for one semester, and teach it a second time within 2 years in the fellow’s
home department
2. Give one public lecture
3. Contribute a 2,000-word article to the II Journal during the 2013-14 academic year
The amount of the fellowship is $16,000. The fellow will receive compensation up to a summer ninth for developing the new
course. Required deductions for fringe benefits and taxes will be made. The remainder of the fellowship will be paid into his
or her research fund. These funds may be used to purchase classroom materials or cover the costs of bringing guest speakers
to the course. Total compensation will not exceed $16,000.

The following items must be emailed by the deadline:
Completed CICS funding request cover sheet including the signatures of all relevant chairs and directors in the
applicant’s department, agreeing that, if selected, the department will give serious consideration to including the
