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.
