Job Title: Mellon Foundation Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Postdoctoral Fellow
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Native American and Indigenous Studies


Description:

These funding opportunities are supported by the Mellon Foundation Native
American Scholars Initiative (NASI). Fellows will be associated with the APS’s
Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR), which aims to
promote greater collaboration between scholars, archives, and Indigenous
communities.

This 12-month fellowship is intended for a recent doctoral graduate, a
professor at any level seeking sabbatical support for a research project, or
an independent postdoctoral scholar working closely with an Indigenous
community on a project. Applications are open to scholars in any field and all
periods of time. Preference will be given to those who have sustained personal
engagement or experience with Indigenous communities. We particularly
encourage applications from tribal college or university faculty, and members
of Indigenous communities. The caliber of the project is the most important
criteria for evaluation. The selection committee will also take into
consideration the need to be at the APS's Library & Museum and other research
institutions in the Philadelphia area.

A stipend will be awarded to the successful applicant, who will also have desk
space at the American Philosophical Society. Terms of the stipend will depend
upon the status and needs of the recipient, but will be in the $45-60K range
depending on health insurance requirements and other factors. In addition, the
postdoctoral fellow will receive $5,000 in travel funds for outside research,
fieldwork, and/or travel. Fellows will also partake in the intellectual life
of the Society and have opportunities to receive professional development,
including works-in-progress seminars, a manuscript workshop, career mentoring,
and conference participation.

Eligibility:
This fellowship is open to those who are not U.S. citizens or residents, but
it does not provide visa sponsorship. Applicants must have a terminal graduate
degree by the beginning of the fellowship term.

Terms:
 - 12 month residential fellowship
 - $45-$60,000 stipend
 - $5,000 travel/research funds

Application Instructions:
All application materials will be submitted online via Interfolio (see link
below). Applicants will submit:
 - C.V.
 - A sample chapter from their project or proposal if in the early stages not
to exceed 25 double-space pages
 - An introductory cover letter that discusses their past work and proposed
work to be completed on the fellowship
 - A short statement, no more than one page, describing the extent of their
experience working collaboratively within an Indigenous community or as a
member of an Indigenous community
 - Three letters of recommendation that offer support of the proposed project
and speak to the credentials of the applicant. For those working on a
community-based project, one of these letters should be a statement of support
from the Indigenous community where the project is based is required

Deadline: January 20, 2023 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
