Description:

The Stanford Humanities Center invites applications for the Mellon Fellowship
of Scholars in the Humanities, a unique opportunity for recent PhD recipients
in the humanities to develop as scholars and teachers. Up to four fellowships
will be awarded for a term of two years (with the possibility of a third).
Fellows teach two courses per year (or the equivalent) in one of Stanford’s 15
humanities departments or through an interdisciplinary program. Recipients are
also expected to participate in the intellectual life of the program, which
includes regular meetings with other fellows and faculty to share work in
progress and to discuss topics of mutual interest. Fellows will also be
affiliated with the Stanford Humanities Center and will have the opportunity
to be active in its programs and workshops.

Program admissions focus on selected fields of humanities scholarship in each
application year on a rotating basis. Eligible fields for the 2018 competition
(for fellowships beginning autumn 2019) are: 
- Classics
- Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies
- Linguistics
- Philosophy 

We invite applicants from any field whose work has demonstrable relevance to
teaching and research in one of the eligible Stanford departments or programs.
Candidates should specify in the application cover letter the primary eligible
field for which they would like to be considered.

Candidates for this competition must have received their PhD between January
1, 2016 and June 30, 2019. Fellowships will begin on September 1, 2019.
Stanford PhDs and employees are not eligible for consideration.

The stipend for 2018-19 will be $80,000, and compensation will include
additional support for computer equipment, research, and relocation expenses,
depending on the needs of individual fellows.

Applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM PT on November 1, 2018. To apply,
complete the online application process via the link at
http://shc.stanford.edu/fellowships/mellon. You will be asked to
electronically submit the following material:
- Cover letter (circa one page) describing your research and teaching
interests to an interdisciplinary search committee
- Curriculum vitae
- Dissertation abstract (up to three pages). 
- A sample of written work (article length, no longer than 40 pages)
- A separate description of teaching experience and interests (up to three
pages)
Note: Courses will be offered through standing Stanford departments or
programs; applicants should familiarize themselves with recent course
offerings and curricula.
- Three confidential letters of recommendation (or the applicant’s active
graduate school dossier)

Faxed or emailed materials cannot be considered. Only complete applications
submitted through the online system will be accepted. All applications will be
acknowledged. Finalists may be interviewed.
