Stanford Humanities Fellows

Stanford University invites applications for the Stanford Humanities Fellows 
program, a postdoctoral fellowship designed to give the best recent Ph.D. 
recipients in the humanities a unique opportunity to develop as scholars and 
teachers. Up to six Fellowships will be awarded for a two-year term. Fellows 
will teach one course and contribute a second course-equivalent per year in 
one of Stanford's fifteen humanities departments. In addition, Fellows will 
be expected to participate in the intellectual life of the program by 
sharing work in progress, meeting regularly as a group and with faculty, and 
generally contributing to the community of humanists at Stanford. It is 
expected, too, that Fellows will be in residence during the term of their 
appointment.

Eligible fields for the 2006-07 competition:
Asian Languages
Comparative Literature
French and Italian
German Studies
Linguistics
Slavic Languages and Literatures
Spanish and Portuguese

Candidates for this year's competition must have received their Ph.D. degree 
between January 1, 2004 and June 30, 2007. Fellowships will begin on 
September 1, 2007. The stipend for 2007-2008 will be approximately $50,000, 
and compensation will include additional support for computer assistance, 
research, and relocation expenses, depending on the individual Fellow's 
needs.
