Lincoln Chafee won't be unemployed for long. The Republican senator officially loses his seat when the next Congress convenes in early January. And when Brown University's spring semester begins in late January, Chafee will serve as a "distinguished visiting fellow" at the Ivy League university's Thomas J. Watson Jr. Institute for International Studies. What exactly will he do as a fellow? "Chafee will lead an undergradaute student study group on U.S. foreign policy and will convene groups of students, faculty and policy-makers to discuss issues in international relations. He will also undertake a variety of writing assignments," according to an announcement released by Brown. Chafee won't be a salaried employee, but he will receive a stipend, according to university officials, who would not say how much the stipend will be. -- projo.com staff writer Steve Peoples During his eight years in federal office, Chafee served on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Committee on Environment and Public Works. "I am absolutely thirlled to be joining the impressive group of people dedicated to analyzing the important international issues of our times," Chafee said in a statement. Chafee lost his seat in November to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse amid a wave of national anti-Republican sentiment.
