Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities
http://humanities.sas.upenn.edu/applications/postdoc/cfa.shtml
Call for Applications, 2012-13
Topic: Peripheries
Five (5) one-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for the
2012-2013 academic year for untenured scholars in the humanities who
received or will receive their Ph.D. between December 2003 and December
2011. The fellowship is open to all scholars, national and international,
who meet application terms (see Guidelines below).
The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived through yearly
topics that invite broad interdisciplinary collaboration. For the
2012–2013 academic year, we have set Peripheries as the theme. Humanists
and those in related fields are invited to submit research proposals on
any aspect of this topic. Exclusions are projects on educational
curriculum building and work by performing artists (n.b., scholars of
performance are eligible). The PhD is the only eligible terminal degree.
Fellows teach one undergraduate course in addition to conducting their
research. The fellowship stipend is $46,500, plus health insurance.
Fellows also receive a research fund of $2500. Fellows are required to be
in residence during their fellowship year (September–May).
Application Deadline: Saturday, October 15, 2011
Applications will be accepted via online webform only.
Awards will be announced by the end of December 2011.
Application Guidelines
The Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities at the Penn
Humanities Forum, University of Pennsylvania, is open to scholars who are
not yet tenured and who are no more than eight years out of their
doctorate. Candidates may hold a tenure-track position but may not be
tenured either before or during the fellowship year.
For the 2012–2013 Fellowship, candidates must have received or will
receive their Ph.D. between December 2003 (not before) and December 2011.
You must have your degree in hand or have passed your defense no later
than December 2011 to be eligible. Your application will not be considered
unless this condition is met (i.e., you are ineligible to apply if you
will defend or otherwise submit your dissertation anytime in 2012). The
Ph.D. is the only terminal degree eligible (i.e., MFAs and other
doctorates such as EdD are ineligible).
During their year in residence, Penn Humanities Forum Mellon Postdoctoral
Fellows will have the opportunity to pursue their own research. That
research must relate to Peripheries, the Forum's topic of study for
2012–13. Fellows must also participate in the weekly Mellon Research
Seminar of the Penn Humanities Forum (Tuesdays, 12:00–2:00), and present
their research at one of those seminars.
In addition to conducting their research, Mellon Fellows are required to
teach one freshman seminar in an appropriate department. In writing the
course proposal for the freshman seminar, please consider carefully the
university's description of those seminars (click here for examples of
Penn Freshman Seminar descriptions).
In selecting a cohort of fellows, we aim for a balanced mix of recent
Ph.D.s and more seasoned tenure-track faculty (who do not yet have
tenure). Preference will be given to candidates whose proposals are
interdisciplinary, who have not held a comparable postdoctoral fellowship
elsewhere or enjoyed previous use of the resources of the University of
Pennsylvania, and who would particularly benefit from and contribute to
Penn's intellectual life.
