Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellowship in the Humanities: The Department of Classics in Emory College of Arts and Sciences has been authorized to recruit a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow for the academic years 2001-2003, with special emphasis on the study of ancient medicine/science. This is a non-tenure-track postdoctoral fellowship (an initial one-year appointment and renewable for a second year), awarded to a scholar capable of initiating an imaginative program of teaching and developing her/his own research. Fellows must have the doctorate in hand at the time of taking up the appointment.
The Fellow will participate in the regular offerings of the classics department, and also develop and teach courses related to the study of ancient medicine, either within the department or jointly with other units (e.g., philosophy, anthropology, women's studies, history, religion, public health, medicine). Fellows teach one course per semester. Stipend is $36,000 per annum, plus $500 for relocation costs and a research allowance of $1,000 per annum.
Applications must include the following materials: a) letter of application laying out interests and qualifications, and a 500-word statement of proposed research; b) curriculum vitae; c) brief description of two courses you would like to teach during your tenure as a Mellon Fellow; d) at least two letters of academic recommendation. Send materials to: Professor David F. Bright, Chair, Department of Classics, N404 Callaway Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322. In order to be ensured full consideration, dossiers must be received by 12 December, 2000. Although we are not using the APA Placement service for this search, members of the department will be in San Diego and may make arrangements to meet with candidates there. We will not be conducting on-campus interviews.
