The Institute of American Cultures offers in-residence appointments to support research on African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Chicanas/os. We especially encourage applications that advance our understanding of new social and cultural realities occasioned by the dramatic population shifts of recent decades, including greater heterogeneity within ethnic groups and increased interethnic contact. Eligibility Requirements: PhD from an accredited college or university at the time of appointment, or in the case of the arts, an appropriate terminal degree. UCLA faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students are not eligible to apply.
