Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry:
A Postdoctoral Program in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Washington University announces the seventh 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 of 2001 the  
Fellowship Program has brought 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 2008-09 academic year the annual stipend will  
be $43,150. 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.

Submit materials by December 1, 2007, to
