I want to find a grant or a visiting fellowship for the 2005-2006 academic year. Ideally one that lets me go overseas, along with my family.
I’ll be eligible for a sabbatical at that point, and the half-pay I’ll get for the academic year won’t be enough for us to live on. So the goal is to find a place—academic or commercial—that wants a visiting scholar or scientist who’s interested in working on social software topics. Such a deal…you get a well-credentialed, good-natured expert for a few months, without any of the messy overhead of long-term contracts or benefits! And as an added bonus, you’ll increase the female-male ratio in your organization for the duration.
So, if you hear of anything (or better yet, have the power to create anything), do let me know! (Yes, I realize it’s a long time from now, in bubble-time. But it seemed worth starting the seed-planting process.
