The CCS welcomes Post-Doctoral Fellows, Visiting Fellows, and Visiting Graduate Students each year on a limited basis. We are not able to offer funding for these positions and applicants must apply to and be approved by various offices at Yale.
Visitors are selected at the discretion of the CCS directors. We are focused on hosting scholars at all levels where there is a good fit with the interests and intellectual approach of the CCS faculty and students and where there will be strong mutual benefits. Visitors are expected to participate regularly in the life of the center, and especially the weekly workshop. Visitors are required to live in the New Haven area and to be on campus most days. To see if you are suitable perhaps look at some of the profiles and working papers on the CCS website before making contact.
Visitors coming to the Center for Cultural Sociology are expected to be self-funding from non-CCS sources, i.e. grants, fellowships, or salary. We can usually offer a desk and a networked printer in a shared office space, and also access to some of Yale’s resources, such as the library, to our visitors. Constraints of space will determine how many visitors can be accommodated in any given semester.
On rare occasions, the CCS welcomes independent researchers for short periods of time to join our workshops and other activities. The independent researcher status is not an official appointment at Yale and should not be included on a Curriculum Vitae. We are unable to offer any institutional support to our independent researchers.
