Subject: Fwd: Mellon Postdocs in Humanities at Tufts

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

If you know a new- or soon-to-be-PhD who might be interested (say in
sociology of art, or culture, or perhaps media) would you please pass
this along? Needs to be able to pass as a humanist, but we did host
such a person a a couple of years ago.  If they are interested, have
them contact me in the next week.

Thanks and all best wishes... JE

> As many of you know, the Mellon Foundation generously agreed to
> renew funding for the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in the
> Humanities at Tufts for another six years. Advertisements (see
> below) were placed in appropriate venues and applications are coming
> in, against a deadline of February 1, 2009. An ad hoc committee will
> be assembled to read files and select candidates. Though it is now
> late in the day, should you know potential applicants please
> encourage them to apply. Since the program calls for fellows to be
> houses in departments and, ideally, paired with suitable mentors/
> collaborators on the Tufts faculty, we may be in touch with some of
> you to ask about your possible interest in hosting or working with a
> given applicant. We hope this year's pool of applicants will add two
> exciting young scholars to our community beginning this coming fall.
> As we have funding for the next years (and perhaps beyond), please
> be on the lookout for talented young scholars who might be
> interested in applying in coming years. Collaborative research
> projects with our faculty are encouraged.
>
> "The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has generously provided Tufts
> University with funding to bring two postdoctoral fellows to campus
> each year to pursue new research projects in the Humanities. Two
> fellows will be appointed in fall 2009.
>
> Fellows will be housed for two years in the Center for the
> Humanities at Tufts and affiliated with the department or
> interdisciplinary program most germane to their field of research.
> Fellows will be expected to teach one course in the spring semester
> of their first year and two in the second year of their residency
> through their home department or program. It is further expected
> that fellows will take part in the intellectual life of campus,
> working with faculty and students, attending and helping to plan
> events and meetings, etc. Applicants whose research will benefit
> from the research environment and faculty at Tufts are especially
> encouraged to apply.
>
> Applications will be competitively evaluated by the Mellon
> Postdoctoral Committee. There is no requirement that the fellows be
> U.S. citizens.  Applicants for the fellowships must have received
> their Ph.D. within the past five years. The stipend for fellows will
> be $42,500 plus benefits, and a research allowance of $5,000 per year.

> Recipients of the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships will be appointed
> by the Dean of Academic Affairs for Arts and Sciences, upon the
> recommendation of the Mellon Postdoctoral Committee. All
> applications must be received no later than February 1, 2009."
