Dear Colleagues and Friends,

If you know a new- or soon-to-be-PhD who might be interested (say in
sociology of art, or culture, or perhaps media) would you please pass
this along? Needs to be able to pass as a humanist, but we did host
such a person a a couple of years ago.  If they are interested, have
them contact me in the next week.

Thanks and all best wishes... JE

Dear Colleagues,
As many of you know, the Mellon Foundation generously agreed to
renew funding for the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in the
Humanities at Tufts for another six years. Advertisements (see
below) were placed in appropriate venues and applications are coming
in, against a deadline of February 1, 2009. An ad hoc committee will
be assembled to read files and select candidates. Though it is now
late in the day, should you know potential applicants please
encourage them to apply. Since the program calls for fellows to be
houses in departments and, ideally, paired with suitable mentors/
collaborators on the Tufts faculty, we may be in touch with some of
you to ask about your possible interest in hosting or working with a
given applicant. We hope this year's pool of applicants will add two
exciting young scholars to our community beginning this coming fall.
As we have funding for the next years (and perhaps beyond), please
be on the lookout for talented young scholars who might be
interested in applying in coming years. Collaborative research
projects with our faculty are encouraged.
"The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has generously provided Tufts
University with funding to bring two postdoctoral fellows to campus
each year to pursue new research projects in the Humanities. Two
fellows will be appointed in fall 2009.
Fellows will be housed for two years in the Center for the
Humanities at Tufts and affiliated with the department or
interdisciplinary program most germane to their field of research.
Fellows will be expected to teach one course in the spring semester
of their first year and two in the second year of their residency
through their home department or program. It is further expected
that fellows will take part in the intellectual life of campus,
working with faculty and students, attending and helping to plan
events and meetings, etc. Applicants whose research will benefit
from the research environment and faculty at Tufts are especially
encouraged to apply.
Applications will be competitively evaluated by the Mellon
Postdoctoral Committee. There is no requirement that the fellows be
U.S. citizens.  Applicants for the fellowships must have received
their Ph.D. within the past five years. The stipend for fellows will
be $42,500 plus benefits, and a research allowance of $5,000 per year.
Recipients of the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships will be appointed
by the Dean of Academic Affairs for Arts and Sciences, upon the
recommendation of the Mellon Postdoctoral Committee. All
applications must be received no later than February 1, 2009."
Thank you for your interest and support,
Andrew McClellan
