Andrew W. Mellon - Postdoctoral Fellowships

Andrew W. Mellon - Postdoctoral Fellowships
Application Deadline: October 16, 2006

Five one-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for untenured scholars in the humanities who received or will receive their Ph.D. between December 1998 and December 2006. (You must have your degree in hand or have passed your defense no later than December 2006 to be eligible) The fellowship is open to all scholars, national and international, who meet application criteria.

The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived through yearly topics that invite broad interdisciplinary collaboration. For the 2006–2007 academic year, we have set ‘Origins’ as the theme. Research proposals are invited on this topic in all areas of humanistic study, except educational curriculum-building and the performing arts.

Fellows teach one freshman seminar each of two terms in addition to conducting their research. The fellowship stipend is $42,000, plus health insurance; fellows are required to be in residence during their fellowship year.
