Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellowships

Center for Humanistic Inquiry

Emory University 

The Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Emory University is accepting applications for three Junior and Post-Doctoral fellowships for an academic year of study, teaching, and residence in the

Center.  The CHI Fellows Program offers research opportunities to those trained in the humanities as traditionally defined and to others seriously interested in humanistic issues; research projects must be humanistic, but fellows may hold the Ph.D. in any discipline.  We especially seek applicants and projects that will benefit from and contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of the group of Fellows and the work of the CHI. 

Junior Fellows are scholars who, at the beginning of the fellowship year, will be at least three years beyond receipt of the Ph.D., and normally no more than ten (i.e., who received their Ph.D.s before Fall 2004).  Post-Doctoral Fellows, who must have the Ph.D. in hand before submission of their applications, are awarded to those who have held the Ph.D. for no more than three years before application for the fellowships (the Ph.D. awarded between fall 2004 and fall 2006). 

Besides being an active member of the Center’s intellectual agenda through the year, Fellows will be expected to offer an upper-level interdisciplinary undergraduate seminar on a subject of their choice during the spring of the fellowship year.  Stipends of $38,500 will be offered to Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellows, along with a research budget of $2,000, office space in the Center, and library access.  Application forms and further information are available on our website at www.chi.emory.edu, or from the Center for Humanistic Inquiry at 404-727-6424 or chi at emory.edu. 

Deadline:  February 22, 2007
