THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, 2004-06

Rice University and the Center for the Study of Cultures announce the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to
encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching.  Two postdoctoral
fellows will be selected for a two-year appointment beginning July 1, 2004
at a stipend of $36,000 per year plus $2,000 moving and research fund.
Fellows will teach two courses per academic year, will be expected to make
significant progress in their research, and will also participate in the
intellectual life of relevant departments, programs, and Center research
groups. While candidates will be affiliated with an appropriate department
in the humanities or social sciences, we are particularly interested in
candidates whose interests are interdisciplinary.  The categories are
therefore open in terms of disciplinary approach and time period.  We
anticipate making appointments in one or two areas of specialization which
include the following:

  Gender, Culture and Language -- Potential areas of research include but
are not limited to gender and science, gender and religion, gender and
language, transnational movements, and intersections of race and gender in
literature.

  Interdisciplinary Approaches to Consciousness and Thought -- The study of
the human mind from a multidisciplinary perspective, integrating ideas at
the crossroads of philosophy, psychology, and linguistics.  Areas of
interest may include the nature and functioning of consciousness, cognitive
models and structures, the basis of human reason, and the relation of
thought and language.
