Post-doctoral Fellowship at the Jewish Theological Seminary
The Graduate School of JTS invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in any field of Jewish Studies for the 2014-2015 academic year, with the possibility of renewal for the following year. The Fellowship provides a stipend of $50,000 per year and faculty benefits, including funds for research and conferences. The Fellow will be expected to teach two courses and to present his/her scholarly research annually both to the JTS faculty and in a public forum. The Fellow may not undertake any other sustained teaching or employment during his/her tenure at JTS. Preference may be given to candidates whose research interests correspond to those of faculty and graduate students at JTS, or to those for whom the use of the JTS library and special collections will be most profitable.
