STANFORD UNIVERSITY
 
Post-Doctoral Fellowships:
INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMANITIES

Stanford University is now accepting applications for 8 to 10 postdoctoral fellows for 2008-09.  Fellows lead seminar discussions for Introduction to the Humanities (IHUM) courses that fulfill Stanford's liberal arts requirement for freshmen, following the curricular tradition first established at Stanford in 1919.  Fellows teach three seminar discussion sections (averaging 15 students each) that meet twice weekly and coordinate with course lectures given by Stanford's senior faculty.

Fellowships are open to scholars in all humanistic disciplines and areas of specialization, who will have completed all requirements for their Ph.D. degree no later than June 30, 2008. IHUM especially seeks candidates from the fields of archeology, classics, comparative literature, American studies, drama and performance studies, East Asian studies, English, French and Italian, European history, music, philosophy, religious studies and history of science.
