Stanford Humanities Fellows
Stanford University invites applications for the Stanford Humanities
Fellows Program, a postdoctoral fellowship designed to give the best
recent Ph.D. recipients in the humanities a unique opportunity to
develop as scholars and teachers. Up to 6 Fellowships will be awarded
for a two-year term, renewable for a third year. Fellows will teach one
course and contribute a second course-equivalent per year in one of
Stanford's fifteen humanities departments. In addition, Fellows will be
expected to participate in the intellectual life of the program by
sharing work in progress, meeting regularly as a group and with faculty
Senior Fellows, and generally contributing to the community of
humanists at Stanford. It is expected, too, that Fellows will be in
residence during the term of their appointment. Over the next three
years, the total number of fellows is expected to be between 12 and 15.
This year's competition will focus on the following fields:
