Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry: A Postdoctoral Program in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Washington University announces the twelfth year of Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry, an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching across the humanities and social sciences.  We invite applications from recent Ph.D.s for the position as Fellow.  In September 2012, the two selected Fellows will join the University’s ongoing interdisciplinary programs and seminars.  The Fellows will receive a two-year appointment with a stipend beginning at $45,800 per year.  Postdoctoral Fellows have an opportunity to plan and pursue their own continuing research in association with a senior faculty mentor at Washington University, and, over the course of their two-year appointment, to teach three undergraduate courses and to collaborate in an interdisciplinary theory and methods seminar.

There is no application form. Applicants should submit a cover letter, a description of their research program (no more than three single-spaced pages), a brief proposal for the seminar in theory and methods, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation. 

Submit materials by December 8, 2011, to Joseph Loewenstein, Interdisciplinary Project in the Humanities, Washington University, McMillan Hall, Room 112, Campus Box 1029, One Brookings Drive, St Louis MO 63130.
