in the Humanities
The Penn Humanities Forum awards five one-year Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships each academic year to junior scholars in the humanities who are not yet tenured (may not be tenured during the fellowship year).
The Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $46,500 plus health insurance, requires that the scholar spend the year in residence at the University of Pennsylvania, and is open to international applicants. The current Call for Applications is for the 2010–11 fellowship year, when our topic will be Virtuality.
Applicants must be no more than eight years out of their doctorate (e.g., for the 2010-11 Fellowship year, you must have received or will receive your Ph.D. between December 2001 and December 2009).
The Ph.D. is the only terminal degree eligible.
The broad interdisciplinary nature of the program allows fellows to become fully integrated into the life of Penn. Fellows conduct research that relates to the Forum's topic of study for the year in residence, participate in the Forum's weekly faculty research seminar where they present their research, and teach one undergraduate course each term on a subject that relates to the annual theme.
Preference will be given to candidates whose proposals are interdisciplinary, who have not previously used the resources of the University of Pennsylvania, and who would particularly benefit from and contribute to Penn's intellectual life.
Calls for application are posted each year in late spring. The application deadline is October 15th for each subsequent year's fellowship. Full fellowship guidelines and application are available on the Forum's website during each Call for Applications cycle (June–mid-October).
