Subject: Postdoc Fellowship: The Columbia Society of Fellows in the
Humanities

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/societyoffellows/fellowship.html

The Columbia Society of Fellows in the Humanities, with grants from the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the William R. Kenan Trust, will appoint a
number of postdoctoral fellows in the humanities for the academic year
2015-2016. We invite applications from qualified candidates who have
received their PhD between 1 January 2013 and 1 July 2015. Fellows are
appointed as Lecturers in appropriate departments at Columbia University and
as Postdoctoral Research Fellows. The fellowship is renewable for a second
and third year.

In the first year, Fellows teach one course per semester. At least one of
these courses will be in the undergraduate general education program:
Contemporary Civilization, Literature Humanities, Music Humanities, Art
Humanities, Asian Civilizations, Asian Humanities, or Global Cultures,
including those of Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. For more
information on Columbia's Core Curriculum please visit
www.college.columbia.edu/core/.

The second course may be a departmental course, the design of which will be
determined jointly by the Fellow and the Fellow's academic department. In
the second year, Fellows teach one course: either a Core course (if only one
of the two first-year courses was in the Core) or a departmental course.
This will leave one semester in the second year free of teaching
responsibilities. In the third year, Fellows again teach one course, either
a Core course or a departmental course (to be decided jointly by the Fellow
and the Fellow's department), leaving one semester again free of teaching
responsibilities. Please note that all teaching-whether a Core class or a
department one-is to be arranged by the Fellow through the Fellow's home
academic department. Please also note that at least two of the three courses
taught in the first two Fellowship years must be in the Core.

In addition to teaching and research, the duties of Fellows include
attendance at the Society's lectures and events as well as active
participation in the intellectual life of the Society and of the department
with which the Fellow is affiliated. The annual stipend will be $61,000.
Each Fellow will also receive a research allowance of $6,000 per annum.

A small number of applicants will be invited to interview in January 2015.
Fellowship decisions will be announced by 1 March 2015. Applicants who have
not been contacted by 11 January 2015 should assume that their candidacy is
no longer active.
