The Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies has a broad mandate in undergraduate and graduate education, advance research, and exchange within the University community. There are two types of residential fellowship programs that are designed to fit this broad mandate:
The Postdoctoral Fellowship is awarded to scholars who hold a Ph.D. degree in a field related to the African and African-American experience. It carries an annual stipend of $35,000 and supports the completion of a research project for one academic year. The Fellow will teach two courses (one per semester) in his or her area of specialization.
Applicants for the 2004-05 academic year must have their Ph.D. in hand before the fellowship begins in September 2004.

The Predoctoral Fellowship is awarded annually to a graduate student of any university who studies aspects of the African and African-American experience. This fellowship, which carries an annual stipend of $18,000, does not come with any teaching obligation, but will require the Fellow to work with the Institute's Director in organizing colloquium, lectures, and other events. The principal aim of this award is to expedite the completion of the Fellow's dissertation.
To qualify for this one-year residential fellowship in 2004-05 academic year, an applicant will need to have completed and passed the following before the end of this (2003-04) academic year: (1) all required courses; (2) qualifying oral and/or written exams; (3) written at least one chapter of the dissertation (the chapter becomes part of the application package).

All Fellows receive office space in the Institute, full access to the University's facilities, and opportunities to interact and collaborate with scholars of their respective disciplines within the University. Fellows must be in full time residence during the tenure of their awards and are expected to be engaged in scholarly activity on a full-time basis. They must, for example, be available for consultation with students and professional colleagues; make at least two formal presentations based upon their research; and contribute generally to the intellectual discourse on African and African-American Studies.

Ph.D. Fellowships in food toxicology will emphasize control of food-borne hazards and effects of those measures on food safety and quality. Fellows will be the new guard of food safety professionals with an appreciation of "farm-to-fork" control of food hazards and an understanding of the consequences of these interventions on food safety and quality. Iowa State University possesses a unique combination of advanced food science courses, toxicology courses and microbiology courses, research facilities and faculty expertise. The Fellows will set the standard for the new food safety professionals who think outside the traditional paradigm of food-borne hazard control.
The proposed program of resarch focuses on the control of food-borne hazards and effects of those measures on food quality. We have selected eight focus areas from which the fellows may elect their research project. Potential research areas include: control of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products; rapid detection of foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms; inactivation of stress-adapted foodborne pathogens; toxicity & chemical characterization of naturally occurring toxicants; impact of antimicrobial interventions on quality characteristics of foods; impact of high pressure processing on nutritive & health-related food components in food; the safety and quality of no-trans plant oils; and control mechanisms for mycotoxigenic fungi in foods.
Eligibility Information: Degree Required: Master's Degree
Fellows must be US citizens or permanent residents. Applicants must have an M.S. degree in an appropriate area or be of high enough caliber that they are eligible for the Ph.D. program with only a B.S. degree.
