Job description

Washington University announces the fifteenth year of Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry, a postdoctoral fellowship program endowed by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching across the humanities and social sciences. We invite applications from recent Ph.D.s for the position as Fellow. In September 2015, the selected Fellow will join the University’s ongoing interdisciplinary programs and seminars. The Fellow will receive a two-year appointment with a nine-month academic year salary beginning at $51,665 per year. Postdoctoral Fellows pursue their own continuing research in association with a senior faculty mentor at Washington University.  Over the course of their two-year appointment, they will also teach three undergraduate courses and collaborate in leading an interdisciplinary seminar on theory and methods for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the humanities and interpretive social sciences.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, a description of their research program (no more than 1800 words), a brief proposal for the seminar in theory and methods, and a curriculum vitae.  Applicants who have not completed their doctoral work should indicate, in their cover letters, how many chapters of their dissertation are complete and how complete the remaining chapters are.  Cover letters should include all relevant contact information and the applicant’s name should appear on each page of all application materials.  Applicants should also arrange for the submission of three confidential letters of recommendation.  Further information on Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry is available on the web at http://mii.wustl.edu/.
