Call for 2008-2009 External Faculty Fellowships

*****PLEASE NOTE NEW DEADLINE: November 19, 2007***** 

The Humanities Research Center at Rice University will award up to four external faculty fellowships for one-semester appointments during the academic year 2008-2009. Fellows will receive a stipend of $40,000 to $50,000, depending on rank, as well as an allowance for research and relocation. Fellows will be in residence at the center; they will give a series of three lectures or participate in a conference or event centered on their research; and they will teach one course.

The fellows will participate in the intellectual life of the center.  Applicants should describe how their research project would contribute to the intellectual focus of one or more of the HRC’s workshops (such as the African Studies Workshop, Cultural Studies of Science and Technology, Early Modern Reading Group, Global Hispanism Workshop, History of Philosophy Workshop, Judaic Studies Workshop, and Medieval Studies Workshop) or to interdisciplinary Humanities initiatives (such as the Americas Colloquium or Medical Humanities communities). For details on these workshops, please visit the HRC website <http://hrc.rice.edu>.

Applicants are eligible to apply from all humanities disciplines including, but not limited to, history, philosophy, languages, literature, linguistics, religious studies, art history and the arts. Proposals employing humanistic approaches are welcome from the social sciences, natural sciences, music, architecture, and engineering. Both junior and senior faculty members with faculty appointments at universities other than Rice are eligible, but they must be at least three years beyond receipt of the Ph.D. at the beginning of the fellowship term. 

Application deadline is November 19, 2007. Applicants will be notified of fellowship decisions in late December 2007.
