Perkins Fellowship in Humanistic Studies 2010, USA
Job Description: This fellowship is sponsored jointly by the Humanities Council and Society of Fellows, and is open to candidates in all relevant disciplines represented in the Society of Fellows. The position offers an opportunity to collaborate with faculty across many departments. For the first two years the Fellow joins faculty from different disciplines in teaching the interdisciplinary year-long sequence, Approaches to Western Culture: From Antiquity to the Modern Period, and pursues research half-time. The fellow coordinates the course with administrative help, working closely with colleagues to plan the curriculum. In addition to attending the lectures, the fellow delivers several lectures and leads some discussions each semester. In recognition of these organizational responsibilities, the fellow receives additional research funds in the first two years. In the third year, the Fellow teaches a course of his/her design in a host department for one semester, and spends the final semester on full-time research without teaching.
