Mellon Junior Post-Doctoral Fellowships
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences of the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign invites applications for two-year Mellon Post-Doctoral
Fellowships in the Humanities, to begin Fall semester, 2005. The areas of
interest are anthropology, English, history, and the literature fields. The
College is particularly interested in proposals that connect the interests
of substantial numbers of faculty, including, but not limited to:
interpretive methods of the various humanities disciplines; various
multi-disciplinary subgroups concerned with rethinking and reinvigorating
period studies; histories and cultures of selected world regions; and
humanistic scholarship on cultural values and collective life in a world of
high mobility, deepening interconnections, and rapid technological and
social change.
Fellows will conduct their own research and scholarship and will teach one
course during the first year and two during the second year in an
appropriate home department. Salary will be $40,000 per year. Teaching
will be in areas of focal interest to the post-doctoral fellows within the
context of the broad themes to which we are giving campus-wide focus.
Applicants should have received the Ph.D. no earlier than 1998 and
requirements for the Ph.D. must be completed by the application deadline of
December 1, 2004.
Applications should include a letter of application, a research proposal, a
curriculum vitae, a writing sample in English of no more than 25 pages, and
a course proposal. Please arrange for three letters of recommendation to be
sent as well.
All material should be sent to the following address, and be post-marked no
later than December 1, 2004:
