The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has generously
provided Tufts University with funding to bring two
postdoctoral fellows to campus each year to pursue
new research projects in the Humanities. Two fellows
will be appointed in fall 2012.
Fellows will be housed for two years at the Center
for the Humanities At Tufts (CHAT) and affiliated with
the department or interdisciplinary program most germane
to their field of research. Fellows will teach one course
in the spring semester of their first year and two in the
second year of their residency through their home
department or program.
It is expected that fellows will take part in the
intellectual life of campus, working with faculty and
students, attending symposia and events, and contributing
to meetings and discussions presented by the Center for the
Humanities. Applicants whose research will benefit from the
research environment and faculty at Tufts are especially
encouraged to apply.
All application materials must be received by
February 1, 2012 and will be competitively evaluated by
the Mellon Postdoctoral Committee. Applicants for the
fellowships must have received their Ph.D. within the past
five years, and may have ABD status at the time of applying
provided their dissertation will be successfully defended
by the fall 2012 appointment if the fellowship. There is
no requirement that the fellows be U.S. citizens
