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

The Fellowship provides an annual $50,000 (Canadian) stipend. We invite applications from qualified candidates for fellowships to begin 1 July 2008.

2008–2009 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 (1581–1587), 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 2008–2009. For 2007–2008 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 2008–2009. If further information is desired, it is hoped that applicants will not hesitate to ask for it.

Michaelmas Term: 01 October 2008 to 19 December 2009

Lent Term: 5 January 2009 to 25 March 2009

Easter Term: 10 April 2009 to 18 June 2009

Materialist

Medieval Manuscript

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," 2–13 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 Center for Advanced Studies website (http://www.uiowa.edu/obermann/medievalbooks).

Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton

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.

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, Institute for Advanced Study, Einstein Drive, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
