Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Chicago: CORRECTED

[Slavic Department]

The University of Chicago invites applications from candidates in
Slavic languages and media studies for a two year, post-doctoral
fellowship-instructorship, running from Fall 2009 to Spring 2011.
Candidates should work in one or more of the major Slavic
languages and cultures (including Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian,
Czech, Polish, and Russian) with a research emphasis on the
theory and practice of contemporary media, which could include
contemporary cinema and print in addition to television, popular
music and digital media. The committee welcomes applications from
candidates with degrees in various disciplines, including
Anthropology, History, Linguistics, Music, Sociology, or Slavic
Languages and Literatures, as long as their work displays
theoretical sophistication and focuses on contemporary media
culture. Appointed as Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Rank of
Instructor, the successful candidate will be expected to teach
two quarter-length courses of his/her own devising, one for
undergraduates and one for graduate students, in each year of the
two award years. It is anticipated that the Fellow will work
closely with other relevant programs within the University to
help establish the University of Chicago as a leader in this
emerging field. The Fellows will be matched with one or more
faculty mentors to ensure that the two years in residence at the
University are of maximum benefit to the Fellows' research agenda
and career path. This is a residential fellowship; persons
holding tenure-track appointments are ineligible to apply, and
candidates must have received their Ph.D. within the five
academic years previous to the year of award.

Applicants should submit a CV, transcripts, samples of scholarly
writing, three letters of recommendation, and a cover letter in
hard copy to:

will begin on 2 February 2009.

opportunity employer.
