Call for Fall 2013 Visiting Graduate Student Scholars
<http://poverty.ucdavis.edu/
Deadline for Receipt of Applications: April 5, 2013 (5pm PST)
The Center for Poverty Research at UC Davis seeks applications from
graduate students who are interested in visiting the Center in order to
expand their understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty.
The Center anticipates hosting up to four graduate students during fall
quarter 2013.
We seek applications from Ph.D. students in a variety of disciplines,
including economics, psychology, sociology, social work, public policy
and graduate schools of law and education, with research interests in
our core research areas:
• Labor markets and poverty
• The non-cash safety net, broadly construed to include education and
health policies
• Children and the intergenerational transmission of poverty
• Immigration and poverty, especially in connection with the above three
areas
Visiting graduate student scholars will be expected to participate in
our graduate course on poverty and public policy͕, our graduate student
retreat, attend poverty related seminars and conferences, and engage
with faculty to develop poverty related research ideas. Graduate
Scholars are matched with both a faculty affiliate of the Center and a
current graduate student. They will also be asked to write a policy
brief that will subsequently be disseminated through the Center’s
website, and will receive a stipend of $7,000 to cover living expenses
while in Davis.
