Mellon - Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities

Organization: Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

Five (5) one-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for the academic year for untenured scholars in the humanities who received or will receive their Ph.D. between December 2005 and December 2013. The fellowship is open to all scholars, national and international, who meet application terms (see Guidelines below).The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived through yearly topics that invite broad interdisciplinary collaboration. For the 2014–2015 academic year, we have set Color as the theme. Humanists and those in related fields (e.g., anthropology, history of science) are invited to submit research proposals on any aspect of this topic. Exclusions are projects in social science disciplines, educational curriculum building, and work by performing artists (n.b., scholars of performance are eligible).
