1. Five (5) one-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for the 2009-2010 academic year for untenured scholars in the humanities who are no more than eight years out of their doctorate. The PhD is the only terminal degree eligible. The fellowship is open to all scholars, national and international, who meet application terms. The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived through yearly topics that invite broad interdisciplinary collaboration. For the 2009–2010 academic year, we have set Connections as the theme. Humanists and those in related fields are invited to submit research proposals on any aspect of this topic, except educational curriculum building and the performing arts. Fellows teach one undergraduate course each of two terms in addition to conducting their research. The fellowship stipend is $46,500, plus health insurance. Fellows are required to be in residence during their fellowship year (September–May). Full Fellowship guidelines, Connections topic description, and application (downloadable) are available on the Forum's website only: http://www.phf.upenn.edu Completed application and supporting materials must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, October 15, 2008.

For the twelfth time in 18 years the international residency program Akademie Schloss Solitude – located in Stuttgart, Germany – is granting approx. 65 residency fellowships of three to twelve months in duration. A public foundation opened in 1990 and funded by the State of Baden- Wurttemberg, the Akademie Schloss Solitude operates an international residency program awarding live/work fellowships to artists. Hundreds of artists from over 70 countries have developed and advanced projects at the Akademie since its opening, creating a close-knit, global network of Solitude alumni that expands from year to year. For the second time, the application round also offers the possibility to apply for a residency fellowship in the art, science & business program. Scholars, scientists and professionals from the disciplines of the Humanities, the Natural Sciences and Economics (individually or suggested by a business) are invited to apply. The art, science & business program`s goal is to promote the dialogue between art, the humanities, science, business and other professional endeavors, as it no longer considers the arts, science and business as separate, discrete activities. Instead, these areas can be seen as complementary to one another and their combination holds the potential to create a dynamic and fruitful exchange. Persons up to 35 or who have completed a university or college degree within the past five years are welcome to apply. Currently enrolled university or college students (at the time of application) will not be considered for selection. Each fellowship recipient is granted Euro 1000 per month, in addition to free lodging. The independent jury consists of a jury chairperson and specialist jurors who independently allocate the fellowships for their respective disciplines. The jurors for the twelfth application round are: Beatriz Colomina, Princeton/USA (Architecture), Dan Graham, New York/USA (Visual Arts), Christoph Schlingensief, Berlin/Germany (Performing Arts), Yves Béhar, San Francisco/USA (Design), Mircea Cartarescu, Bucharest/Romania (Literature), Lucia Ronchetti, Rome/Italy (Music/Sound) und Sarah Morris, New York/USA (Video/Film/New Media). For the art, science & business program: Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford/USA (Humanities), Vadim Bolshakov, Harvard/USA (Natural Sciences) and Caroline Gerschlager, Vienna/Austria (Economy). Application deadline is October 31, 2008 (Postmark). As of July 1, application forms can be downloaded from the application website http://application.akademie-solitude.de or can be requested in writing from the Akademie Schloss Solitude, Solitude 3, 70197 Stuttgart, Germany, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |
