Newhouse Center for the Humanities
Wellesley College
Deadline: December 1, 2009

The Newhouse Center for the Humanities will host ten – eleven resident fellows for the academic year 2010-11. Residencies are ordinarily for the full academic year, but one-semester residencies can also be considered. Resident fellows will devote themselves primarily to their own research, but will also participate actively in the intellectual life of the institution, participating in programming and events as appropriate, sharing their work in progress, and serving, if they choose, as mentors to student research assistants. Beginning in 2010-11, Newhouse Faculty Fellows will be given the opportunity to work with the Director to design a program in which to present his/her work to the larger community while in residence – e.g. short lecture series, interdisciplinary panel, mini-conference, etc. Fellows are chosen through open competition, as described below, and are open to both junior and senior faculty members at other institutions. Both stipended and un-stipended fellowships are available. Stipended Faculty Fellowships carry a stipend of up to $50,000 for two semesters. The Newhouse Center will make available private office space, some clerical support, technical and computing resources, and the collegiality of both the Center and the Wellesley community at large. In addition, research funds of up to $3,000 (pro-rated for one-semester residencies) will be available to all fellows for books, professional travel, access to collections and other associated costs of scholarly research. In cases of exceptional need, additional research support funds may be available.

 The deadline is December 1, 2009.
