Five College Fellowships offer year-long residencies for doctoral students
completing dissertations. The program supports scholars from under-represented
groups and/or scholars with unique interests and histories whose engagement in
the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching. This year we expect to award
four fellowships for 2012-13.
Each Fellow will be hosted within an appropriate department or program at
Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At
Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Applications are to the
program, not to a specific hosting campus.
This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are provided research and
teaching mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and
scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also
supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.
The fellowship includes a $30,000 stipend, a research grant, health
benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges
at all five campuses belonging to the consortium.
While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation,
most fellows teach at their hosting institution, but never more than a single
one-semester course.
To apply: Application is online through the Human Resources
office at Smith College, which has agreed to administer this search on behalf
of the Consortium.

Comments: The Center offers 3 dissertation fellowships each year. One, funded by the National Museum of the U.S. Army, is designed to support dissertations that explore the material culture of the Army; the two others support research in the more general areas of military history in all its many aspects.
Applicants must be admitted to candidacy, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and must not have held an equivalent fellowship from any Department of Defense agency. The award provides a $10,000 stipend and access to the Center.

Comments:The Society for the Humanities will sponsor two postdoctoral teaching-research fellowships in the humanities, each awarded for the two-year period beginning July 2012. Each fellowship offers a stipend of $45,000/year. While in residence at Cornell, Mellon Fellows hold department affiliations and have limited teaching duties and the opportunity for scholarly work. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are available in two areas of specialization.
..........................................................
Department of Science & Technology Studies
With the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department of Science & Technology Studies at Cornell University invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship. The department seeks candidates specializing in historical or contemporary studies of science, technology, or medicine to work on the topic of "Difference and Commensuration." There are many contexts where this project might be pursued: for example, post-colonial history of science and technology; new studies of the senses such as sound studies; queer and sexuality studies; disability studies, studies of traditional healing, magical practices, and non-western science and medicine; or global technology studies. We encourage the applicants to be creative and propose their own projects, including those from neighboring fields. A Ph.D. is required in science & technology studies or a related field, such as the history, sociology, philosophy, or anthropology of science.
Department of Theatre, Film and Dance
With the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department of Theatre, Film and Dance at Cornell University seeks a two year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in global, transnational, and/or minority performance and media studies. We are particularly interested in individuals whose research engages the intersection of performance and media, the use of media in performance, multiple and nontraditional media and performance platforms, old and new media. We would welcome applicants whose research includes dance and its interracial/intercontinental migration, old and new media representations of those forms and vigorous analysis of the implications for contemporary dance culture. We encourage applicants whose research and teaching explore medial and performative modes of interaction across different cultural contexts, embodied practices, theoretical domains, and historical configurations. Possible fields of specialization include Latina/o, Asian American, African diasporic, or Native performance and media; Latin American, African, South or East Asian performance and media. Teaching responsibilities include two courses a year, one upper-level seminar in the candidate's area of specialization and a lower-level introductory course in the field that could be comparative in nature. In addition, the Mellon Fellow is invited to participate in the Society for the Humanities' events, including weekly seminar luncheons.
