For those looking for postdocs...
Penn State Institute for the Arts and Humanities
Postdoctoral/ MFA Fellowships: Being Humans; 2011-12
For artists and humanists, these are extraordinary times: our sense of
“the human” is undergoing remarkable transformations, with
implications for the future of all life on the planet. How should we
understand our relation to animal cognition, to artificial intelligence,
to the biosphere, to disability, to genetics? Can we imagine a form of
humanism in which the boundaries of the human are unstable?
Applicants should have received their terminal degrees (PhDs in the
humanities, MFAs in the fine and performing arts, Masters or beyond in
design fields such as architecture) within the past three years.
Applications should include a cv, two letters of recommendation, a
project description of 1000 words, and (for applicants in the arts or
design) a sample of work on a single DVD. Fellowship stipends are
$42,000 plus benefits and a $2,000 research fund; fellows will be
required to teach one course each semester in their discipline. Fellows
will be given office space at the Institute. It is expected that
fellows will take part in the intellectual life of campus, working with
faculty and students, attending symposia and events, and contributing to
meetings and discussions presented by IAH.
All application materials must be received at this address by January
15, 2011:
