AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cornell University

With the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department of
History of Art at Cornell University invites applications for a two-year
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship. The term of the appointment is from July 1,
2011 to June 30, 2013. We welcome applicants whose research and teaching focus on
the overlapping areas of popular culture and media in the United States. It
would be particularly useful for students in the Department if the person's
research and teaching covered some combination of: modern and contemporary
art, popular culture, including media and fashion, and gender and sexuality
studies.

While in residence at Cornell, postdoctoral fellows hold department
affiliation and have limited teaching duties and the opportunity for
scholarly work. The fellow will teach in his or her area of interest, one introductory level
course and one upper-level seminar. In addition, the Mellon Fellow is
invited to participate in the Society for the Humanities' events, including
weekly seminar luncheons.

Applicants who have received the Ph.D. degree between September 2005 and
June 30, 2011 are eligible to apply. Applicants who do not have the Ph.D. in
hand at the time of application must include a letter from the committee or
department chair stating that the Ph.D. degree will be conferred before the
term of the fellowship begins. For more information on the Department of History of Art,

Please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a dissertation
chapter, sample syllabi, and the names and addresses of three references to
Megan Dirks, Program Administrator, Society for the Humanities, 27 East
Avenue, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853. The deadline for applications
is January 15, 2011.
Cornell University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and
educator. Women, minorities, and international candidates are especially
encouraged to apply.
