Post-Doctoral Fellowship, The Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, Emory University

The Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry announces up to three annual Post-Doctoral Fellowships for an academic year of study, teaching, and residence in the Center.  The purpose of the Post-Doctoral Fellows Program is to stimulate and support humanistic research by providing scholars in early stages of their careers with the necessary time, space, and other resources.  In addition, the Program was created to allow the Emory community access to a range of humanistic work by visiting scholars from other institutions.
 
An essential feature of the Post-Doctoral Fellows Program is that Fellows are expected to make intellectual contributions not only within the Center but, more widely, to humanistic studies at Emory University.  Thus Post-Doctoral Fellows will be expected to offer an upper-level undergraduate course on a subject of their choosing during the spring of their fellowship year.                      

                                                                                                                                                                     
Post-Doctoral Fellows, who must have the Ph.D. in hand before the submission of their applications, are awarded to those who have held the Ph.D. for no more than six years before receiving the fellowship.

The FCHI Fellows Program is designed to offer research opportunities both to those trained in the humanities as traditionally defined and to others working with humanistic issues.  Research projects must be humanistic, but applicants may hold the Ph.D. in any discipline.  Especially appropriate are applicants whose research is likely to contribute to intellectual exchange among a diverse group of scholars within the disciplines of the humanities.
