Humanities in the World Postdoctoral Fellowship: 2022-2023
The Penn State Humanities Institute (HI) seeks applications for two newly available Post-doctoral Fellowships for the 2022-2023 Academic Year. Fellowships are for up to two years. Fellows will be in residence at the Humanities Institute at Penn State and will be afforded office space and support for ongoing research projects. No teaching is required for these Fellowships, however teaching opportunities may be available if the scholar wishes.
The Penn State Humanities Institute is dedicated to supporting research and teaching that is shaped by a collaborative spirit and is alert to how humanities scholarship is crucial for broader conversations about pressing social issues. Several initiatives housed in the Institute are grounded in this mission, including the Humanities in the World funding program, which supports these Postdoctoral Fellowships.
Applicants can come from any area in traditional humanities fields (as defined, for example, by the National Endowment for the Humanities: https://www.neh.gov/about). Applicants are encouraged to explain how their work bears on issues of social concern, even if indirectly. Successful applicants will be distinguished by their scholarly excellence and how their work fits in with the central values of the Institute's mission.
The HI welcomes applications from scholars who have received their PhDs within the past three years (after May 1, 2019). Terminal degrees must be in hand by July 1, 2022. Applications should include (1) a CV, (2) contact information for two references, and (3) a letter describing how you might be suited for the position and detailing your area(s) of expertise and training. It is expected that the fellow will be in residence at Penn State's University Park campus, be available for interaction with PSU faculty and grad students, and to participate in the Institute's colloquia and other events.
Review of applications will begin on March 28, 2022 and continue until the positions are filled.
