The Stanford Humanities Center invites applications for the Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in the Humanities, a unique opportunity for recent PhD recipients in the humanities to develop as scholars and teachers. Up to four fellowships will be awarded for a term of two years (with the possibility of a third). Fellows teach two courses per year (or the equivalent) in one of Stanford’s 15 humanities departments or programs. Additionally, they are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the program, which includes regular meetings with other fellows and Stanford faculty to share work in progress and discuss topics of mutual interest. Fellows will also be affiliated with the Stanford Humanities Center and have the opportunity to be active in its programs and workshops.
