Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (University of Pittsburgh)

The University of Pittsburgh Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is offering approximately five postdoctoral fellowships in the humanities and social sciences for the academic year 2013-2014. Fellows will teach one course each semester, complete scholarly work, and participate in the academic and intellectual communities of the departments with which they are affiliated and across the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences.
To foster interaction within the group of fellows and with ongoing concerns of the Humanities Center, the World History Center, and other programs on campus, we seek applicants with projects that engage the concept or practice of comparison—across time, space, language, genre, discipline or other category. How do we, at this moment, compare? Why do we compare? What can be compared? What do we gain by comparing? What do we lose? We welcome any proposal relating to these issues.
We invite applications from qualified candidates in the humanities and social sciences who have received, or will receive, the PhD between September 1, 2011 and April 1, 2013. As part of the application, applicants who have not received the PhD at the time of application must submit a letter from their dissertation chair with the scheduled defense date. The defense must be no later than April 1, 2013. The annual stipend will be $45,000. Fellows may apply for an additional year renewal.

Applications must be received by 5 p.m. EST on March 1, 2013. We expect to announce the awards by April 15, 2013.
