Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities

The Division of Humanities at UCLA is accepting applications for the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities “Cultures in Transnational Perspective.” We expect to appoint two or more fellows for a 1-year term in the Fall of 2013, potentially renewable for a second year, pending funding.  Fellows must have earned their doctoral degree between January 2008 and June 2013. The Mellon Fellowship provides a stipend of $56,000, plus benefits, a moving allowance of $1,500, and a research budget of $3,500. All Fellows will be housed in home departments for which they teach two courses.
