MODELING INTERDISCIPLINARY INQUIRY:
A POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM IN THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

Washington University announces the second year of a new Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching across the humanities and social sciences. Beginning in September 2001, and lasting for five years, the Fellowship Program will bring to Washington University a group of 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 will receive a two-year appointment with stipends beginning at $36,050 per year. Fellows will outline a plan for their own continuing research in association with a senior faculty member at Washington University. Over the course of their two-year appointment, Fellows will teach three undergraduate courses in their home discipline and collaborate each spring semester in leading a seminar in the theory and methods of interdisciplinary research.

There is no application form, but further information on Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry is available at the address below and on the Web at http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~szwicker/Mellon_Postdoctoral_Program.html.

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 should be submitted in paper copy. Washington University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Employment eligibility verification requested upon hire. Submit materials by December 1, 2001, to:
