Mellon Oist Doc

[Andrew Wachtel]

Dear Colleagues,

Northwestern University has received authorization to search for a Mellon
Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Slavic Languages and Literatures
(official advertisement appears below).  Please let any interested
colleagues know about this opportunity.


        The Department of Slavic Languages at Northwestern University will be
accepting applications for a Mellon postdoctoral fellowship position.  The
fellowship is for a two-year term beginning in September, 1999, and
requires half-time teaching, presentation of colloquia, and participation
in the intellectual life of the department.  The fellow will be on a term
contract and will be a non-voting member of the faculty.
        We are looking for a scholar with imagination, literary
sensitivity, and
clear evidence of outstanding teaching ability in any area(s) of Russian or
East European literature and culture. The applicant must have the Ph.D. in
hand by September, 1999.  We encourage applications from women and minority
candidates.
        This position is in addition to our previously advertised assistant
professor slot.  If you have applied for that position and wish to be
considered for the Mellon Fellowship, merely send an email asking to be
considered to Kelly Vnuk, Program Assistant, Department of Slavic Languages
and Literatures at slavic at nwu.edu.  If you have not applied for the job,
send a cover letter, three letters of recommendation, a CV, and a one-page
dissertation description to:  Andrew Wachtel, Chair, Mellon Postdoctoral
Fellow Search Committee, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures,
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-2206.
