Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry:
A Postdoctoral Program in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Washington University announces the fifth year of an Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage
interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching across the humanities and
social sciences. Beginning in September 2001, and lasting for five
years, the Fellowship Program brings to Washington University new and
recent Ph.D.s who wish to strengthen their own advanced training and to
participate in the university's ongoing interdisciplinary programs and
seminars. The Postdoctoral Fellows receive two-year appointments with
stipends; for the 2005-06 academic year the annual stipend will be
$39,500. Fellows will outline a plan for their own continuing research
to be pursued with a senior faculty mentor from Washington University.
Over the course of their two-year appointment, fellows will teach three
undergraduate courses and collaborate during a spring term in leading a
seminar in the theory and methods of interdisciplinary research.

There is no application form; applicants should submit a cover letter, a
description of their research program (no more than three single-spaced
pages), a brief proposal for the seminar in theory and methods, a
curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation. All materials
must be submitted in paper copy.
