    MELLON POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN THE HUMANITIES
    Penn Humanities Forum
    University of Pennsylvania
    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
    2002 - 2003 Academic Year
    Application Deadline: Monday, October 15, 2001

    The Penn Humanities Forum of the University of Pennsylvania
    invites applications for five (5) Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships
    in the Humanities which are available for the 2002 - 2003
    academic year. The fellowships are open to junior (untenured)
    scholars who received or will receive their Ph.D. between
    December 1993 and December 2001 (i.e., eligible applicants
    must be no more than eight years out of their degree).

    The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived
    through yearly topics that invite broad interdisciplinary
    collaboration. We have set THE BOOK as the theme for the
    2002 - 2003 academic year. Research proposals are invited on
    this topic in all areas of humanistic study, except educational
    curriculum-building and the performing arts.

    Full application details and information on the topic of
    THE BOOK are available on the Forum's web site:
    http://humanities.sas.upenn.edu/

    *APPLICATION GUIDELINES*
    Preference will be given to candidates whose proposals are
    interdisciplinary, who have not previously used the resources
    of the University of Pennsylvania, and who would particularly
    benefit from and contribute to its intellectual life. The
    Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $34,000 and is
    open to international scholars.

    During their year in residence, PHF Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows
    will have the opportunity to pursue their own research and
    study, to meet regularly with other Mellon Fellows and
    university faculty, and to take part in all aspects of the
    intellectual life of the University of Pennsylvania community.

    Mellon Fellows are required to teach one course per semester
    (fall and spring terms) in an appropriate department,
    participate in the weekly interdisciplinary Research Seminar
    of the Penn Humanities Forum (held Tuesdays, 12:00-2:00),
    and present their research at one of those seminars.

    Fellows will be accorded such faculty privileges as office
    space, PC computer, and library borrowing privileges, and
    are expected to be on the Penn campus during both terms
    of the fellowship (September - May).

    *APPLICATION DEADLINE & MAILING ADDRESS*
    Completed applications and supporting materials must
