The Humanities Center at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a residential Fellow for the academic year 2009-10. We seek a colleague of outstanding promise, at work on a major project in any area of the humanities or allied areas of inquiry. Applicants must have Ph.D. in hand at time of application. We especially encourage applications by scholars who are women or minorities.
Stipend will be $40,000, plus benefits, with a fund of $5000 available for research and relocation expenses. The Fellow will be provided with an office and assisted in finding housing in Pittsburgh. The Fellow will be required to be resident in Pittsburgh while holding the Fellowship, to present a lecture and colloquium, and to participate in the activities of the Center. If there is a course the Fellow wishes to develop and teach, this is welcome, but it is not required.
