Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Classics. The Department of Classics in the University of Chicago invites applications for a two-year Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2002-2004. The position is open to scholars who have received the Ph.D. within five years before the year of award; priority will be given to specialists in any aspect of Greek epic and/or Greek tragedy.

The purpose of the Fellowship is to enable a scholar at the start of an academic career to design and teach courses that reflect personal interests, to improve pedagogical skills, to pursue individual scholarly projects in an interdisciplinary setting and under the auspices of an active mentoring program, and to make lasting connections with a distinguished faculty both within and beyond the Department of Classics. The Mellon Fellow will enjoy access to an extraordinary range of academic resources at the University of Chicago.
During each of the two years of the appointment, the Mellon Fellow will design and teach two undergraduate or graduate courses. The other half of the Fellow's time will be devoted to research, writing, and the communication of research results to the Department and the University community. The Fellow will collaborate in a mentoring program with a senior member in the Department who will assist the Fellow in developing a plan of research, advise on problems of teaching, and discuss material being readied for publication. The Fellow will make an annual presentation of his or her work at one of the interdisciplinary faculty-student Workshops based in the Department of Classics. The Fellow is also expected to take part in the collegial life of the Humanities Division and to participate in the organization of local conferences and lectures.
Applications should include: (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a statement of current research interests, (3) proposals for two quarter-long courses, one addressed to undergraduates (with all readings in English) and one addressed to graduate and advanced undergraduate students, (4) three letters of recommendation, and (5) copies of published work, extracts from the dissertation, or drafts of work in progress (ca. 30 pages).
