Postdoctoral Fellowships at the University of Toronto |
The Jackman
Humanities Institute (JHI) at the University of Toronto is
pleased to announce new Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships
designed to provide financial and intellectual support for
outstanding scholars at the beginning of their professional
careers. Up to three Fellows in the Humanities will be selected
each year for a two-year fellowship in the new JHI. Fellows
will be selected on the basis of accomplishment appropriate
to their stage in their career, the promise of excellence
and the relevance of their research to the annual theme.
*The
JHI interprets "Humanities" as a broad category, including
political theory, interpretative social science, music and
the arts.
The theme
for the 2008-09 year is: Telling Stories Making sense
of our world depends on the practice of narrating events.
In both oral and written traditions, and ranging from the
historian's monograph to the epic poem, a film or a single
painting-the activity of telling stories serves as a topic
for diverse kinds of scholarly inquiry. Humanities research
explores various modes of telling and the social, political,
epistemological and ethical implications of how and why stories
are told. The Fellows will pursue their individual research
in the context of the JHI. They will have offices at the JHI
and will participate in weekly seminars and other activities
in the circle of fellows. In addition, each Fellow will be
affiliated with a department and will teach one course each
term of their two-year fellowship. We are especially interested
in candidates who have an interest in and capacity for interdisciplinary
work of a high quality

Corpus Christi College Visiting Fellowships
|
Corpus
Christi College has an annual programme under which scholars,
either from Great Britain or from overseas, who may wish to
spend the year (or part of it, but not less than one term)
in Cambridge are welcomed as Visiting Fellows to temporary
membership of this College. These Fellowships are non-stipendiary
and ideally suited to faculty members on sabbatical leave
from their permanent positions. Visiting Fellows are not permitted
to register for degree courses. The College will not normally
consider candidates under the age of 35, or over the age of
65. Limited assistance towards the cost of accommodation may
be available from the Goodhart Fund for scholars in legal
studies from developing countries.
Visiting
Fellows become members of the University of Cambridge during
their stay and enjoy many of the benefits of working in an
international centre for research and cultural activities.
As members of Corpus Christi College they join one of the
constituent colleges of the University. Corpus was founded
in 1352, and uniquely among Cambridge Colleges, Corpus established
a post-graduate campus, Leckhampton, as an integral part of
the College but on a separate site in 1962. Research Activities
The Visiting Fellowships provide scholars with the opportunity
of carrying out their research in the environment of a College
with a tradition for scholarship and research.
The Parker
Library of the College has an outstanding collection of medieval
manuscripts and early printed books from the collection of
Matthew Parker who was Master of the College and later the
Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Elizabeth I. The
Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe was a student (15811587),
Stephen Hales was elected into a Fellowship in 1703 and carried
out pioneering research on blood pressure, and Sir George
Thomson, who received the Nobel Prize for his work on electron
diffraction, was admitted as Master in 1952.
The
current Fellows of the College are involved in research and
teaching over a wide range of subjects in humanities and sciences.
Scholars can normally obtain permission to use and borrow
from the University library, which has one of the most comprehensive
collections of books and manuscripts in the United Kingdom.
They can also use some Departmental libraries; this is arranged
most conveniently after arrival in Cambridge. If the scholar
hopes to have bench space in a laboratory, or a similar facility,
it is essential that before approaching Corpus he or she should
apply to the appropriate University Department or Faculty
to enquire whether such facilities can be made available for
the period of the applicant's stay in Cambridge. If a personal
contact is not available it is best to write to the Head of
Department in the appropriate discipline. A full list of Faculties
and Departments in the University of Cambridge may be obtained
by requesting the University Handbook.
Three
fully furnished and centrally heated flats, each with kitchen,
sitting-room, and two bedrooms, are set aside for the occupation
of Visiting Fellows at a reasonable rental. Successful applicants
who are unaccompanied may occupy these flats but it is sometimes
possible to offer them bed-sitting rooms elsewhere at Leckhampton
or on the College site. Accommodation
will be allocated on the basis of applications received before
1 February 2008.
It would
be much appreciated if applicants could submit eight copies
of their applications for circulation to members of the Visiting
Fellows Committee. Applications should include the following:
(a) a completed application form (available on Corpus' website).
(b) a full Curriculum Vitae, including details of age, education,
and academic career, together with a list of publications;
(c) a brief description (approximately two pages) of the research
to be pursued in Cambridge; (d) some information about the
outside interests of the applicant and, where relevant, of
the applicant's family. The College may ask applicants from
the United Kingdom or from Ireland to come to Cambridge for
an interview. Applicants who need any early decision on their
application should apply as soon as possible and indicate
in an accompanying letter the date by which they need a decision
from the College. Every effort will be made by the College
to meet such deadlines. Visiting Fellows are normally expected
not to hold any appointment at or temporary membership of
another Cambridge College during the tenure of their appointment
at the College, and applicants are asked to notify the College
immediately if they intend to accept an invitation elsewhere.
Applications
should be sent, by 1 February 2008 to: The Master's PA, Corpus
Christi College, Cambridge CB2 1RH, England (+441223-764005
[direct line]; +44-1223-338000 [Porters' Lodge];: sw404@cam.ac.uk;
http://www.corpus.cam.ac.uk/fellowship/visiting/vappform.rtf).
Privileges
of Visiting Fellows:
It is
the purpose of the College to make Visiting Fellows and their
spouses/partners feel at home in Leckhampton; they will be
encouraged to make full use of any of its facilities that
appeal to them and to join in the intellectual, social and
sporting life of the graduate community there. They are also
welcome to worship in the College Chapel. The
Warden and other College Fellows make a special effort to
get to know the Visiting Fellows. Visiting Fellows are also
welcome to dine at the High Table in the College itself and
to participate in many College functions.
Costs
and Charges:
It is
impossible at this stage to state precisely what will be the
level of the standard charges, which the College will ask
Visiting Fellows to pay for their accommodation in 20082009.
For 20072008 the accommodation charge (which covers
the cost of central heating and hot water but not metered
gas and electricity) was in the range of £900£1350 per
month. A deposit on the flat amounting to £200 will be payable;
this money will be refunded at the end of the stay, once the
accommodation has been inspected. The charge for dinner at
Leckhampton is likely to be approximately £7.80. Lunch in
College will cost in the region of £5.50, and dinner at High
Table £21.35. These charges may be subject to some increase
for 20082009. If further information is desired, it
is hoped that applicants will not hesitate to ask for it.

Manuscript
Studies
at Iowa |
Up to10
Fellowships are available to participants in The University
of Iowa Obermann Center for Advanced Studies 2008 Research
Seminar in "Medieval Manuscript Studies and Contemporary Book
Arts: Extreme Materialist Readings of Medieval Books," 213
June 2008.
This
seminar will bring together contemporary book artists specializing
in medieval-inspired techniques of papermaking, bookbinding,
and calligraphy, among others, with medievalists whose scholarship
depends upon a knowledge of the intimate physical details
of medieval manuscript production. Participants will bring
to the seminar the draft of an unpublished essay that models
extreme materialist readings of a medieval book as a case
study that will be discussed by all of the seminar participants,
each bringing his or her own expertise.
Seminar
participants will have access to papermaking, bookbinding,
and scribal facilities for modeling some of the underlying
issues. The seminar will result in an essay collection that
will exemplify what can be achieved in the field of medieval
manuscript studies through such extreme attentiveness to the
material. Deadline for application: Wednesday, 30 January
2008.
Those
participants selected to join the seminar will be offered
a stipend of $1,500 along with expenses. For more information
and application details, visit the University of Iowa's Obermann

THE INSTITUTE
FOR ADVANCED STUDY is an independent private institution founded
in 1930 to create a community of scholars focused on intellectual
inquiry, free from teaching and other university obligations.
Each year scholars from around the world apply to come to
the Institute to pursue their own research. Those who are
chosen are offered a membership for a set period and a stipend.
Members receive access to the extensive resources of the Institute,
including offices, access to libraries, subsidized restaurant
and housing facilities, and some secretarial services.
THE SCHOOL
OF HISTORICAL STUDIES supports scholarship in all fields of
historical research, but is concerned principally with the
history of western, near eastern and Asian civilizations,
with particular emphasis upon Greek and Roman civilization,
the history of Europe (medieval, early modern, and modern),
the Islamic world, East Asian studies, the history of art,
the history of science, philosophy, and modern international
relations. The School also offers the Edward T. Cone Membership
in Music Studies. Each year the School welcomes approximately
forty Members. Most are working on topics in the above mentioned
fields, but each year the School also selects some scholars
working in other areas of historical research. Members in
the School are appointed for either one term (first term Sept.
21 to Dec. 18, second term Jan. 4 to April 2) or for two terms,
amounting to a full academic year.
ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS include the Ph.D. (or equivalent) at the time
of application and a substantial record of publication. The
School takes into account the stage of the scholar’s academic
career when considering the list of publications, but in general
applicants should have at least several articles already published
in scholarly publications in order to be considered eligible.
Qualified candidates of any nationality are invited to apply.
Scholars are not required to have a current institutional
affiliation.
MEMBERS
ARE EXPECTED to remain in residence in Princeton during term
time. Members’ only other obligation is to pursue their own
research. If they wish, they may also participate in seminars
and meetings within the Institute, and there are ample opportunities
for contacts with scholars at nearby universities.
FUNDING
FOR MEMBERS comes from a variety of sources including the
Institute for Advanced Study’s own endowment, grants from
the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Gerda Henkel
Foundation, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The School
will also welcome scholars sponsored by the American Council
of Learned Societies through the Frederick Burkhardt Fellowships
for recently tenured professors. (Applications for that program
must be submitted directly to ACLS. For information see the
ACLS website at http://www.acls.org/burkguide.htm.)
INSTITUTE
STIPENDS will normally be offered up to a maximum of $65,000
for the full academic year, or $32,750 for one term. A few
senior scholars will be offered additional funding to help
make up for losses in salary. Up to three Assistant Professors
who meet additional eligibility requirements will be selected
for Mellon Fellowships that will provide full year support
matching their salaries and benefits at the time of application.
(Detailed information about this program is on the website:
http://www.hs.ias.edu/mellon.htm.) Stipends may be supplemented
by other grants, including sabbatical salaries, but if the
total exceeds the salary at the time of application the stipend
will be reduced accordingly. Further information and application
materials may be found on the School’s web site, www.hs.ias.edu.
Inquiries may be sent by email to the Administrative Officer
at mzelazny@ias.edu or by post to: School of Historical Studies,
