Mellon Postdoc, University of Pennsylvania Five Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities are available for the 2004-2005 academic year for untenured junior scholars who received or will receive their Ph.D. between December 1995 and December 2003 (i.e., candidates must be no more than eight years out of their doctorate, and degree must be in hand or dissertation defended no later than December 2003).
The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived through yearly topics that invite broad interdisciplinary collaboration. We have set SLEEP & DREAMS as the theme for the 2004-2005 academic year. Research proposals are invited on this topic in all areas of humanistic study, except educational curriculum-building and the performing arts.
The Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $37,000 and is open to international applicants. During their year in residence, PHF Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows are required to teach one freshman seminar per semester (fall and spring terms) in an appropriate department, participate in the weekly Research Seminar of the Penn Humanities Forum (Tuesdays, 12:00-2:00), and present their research at one of those seminars. Fellows are expected to be on campus during both terms of the fellowship (September -May).
Full Fellowship details, including a complete application, are available for downloading from the Forum's website. (Application forms will not be sent by postal mail except in cases when online access is unavailable.)
Application Deadline: Completed application and supporting materials must be postmarked no later than October 15, 2003.
