Overview
The Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry announces a new Junior/Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Poetics, funded by a Challenge Grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, for an academic year of study, teaching, and residence in the Center. Please note that Junior Fellows are scholars who, at the beginning of the fellowship year, will be at least three years beyond receipt of the Ph.D., and normally no more than ten (i.e., who received their Ph.D.s before Fall 2007); and Post-Doctoral Fellows, who must have the Ph.D. before submission of their applications, are awarded to those who have held the Ph.D. for no more than three years before receiving the fellowship.
This Fellowship is to highlight the importance of the ongoing critical, theoretical, and creative engagements with poetry across Emory University, as well as marking the emergence of the Robert W. Woodruff Library’s Manuscripts, Archives, and Rare Books Library (MARBL) as a major center for research in poetry. For more information on MARBL, please see.
The general purpose of the FCHI’s Junior/Post-Doctoral Fellows Program is to stimulate and support humanistic research of scholars in the early stages of their careers with time, space, and other resources. An essential feature of the Program is that Fellows are expected to make intellectual contributions not only within the Center but, more widely, to humanistic studies at Emory University. Thus Poetics Fellows will be expected to offer an upper-level undergraduate course on a subject of their choosing during the spring of their fellowship year.
Value of this fellowship
Stipends of $40,000 will be offered to Junior/Post-Doctoral Fellows in Poetics. In addition, a research budget of $2000 will be made available to each Fellow, along with shared office space in the Center and access to the Emory University Libraries.
Eligible Candidates
The FCHI Fellows Program is designed to offer research opportunities both to those trained in the humanities as traditionally defined and to others working with humanistic issues. Research projects must be humanistic, but fellows may hold the Ph.D. in any discipline. Especially appropriate are applicants whose research is likely to contribute to intellectual exchange among a diverse group of scholars within the disciplines of the humanities.
Because the FCHI is a residential center, its intellectual life depends on collegial interaction. Fellows will be expected to be in residence full-time during both terms of the regular academic year and to take an active part in the life of the FCHI, as well as in the intellectual life of the larger University. Since a primary purpose of the Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellows Program is to create a diverse community of scholars in residence at the Center as well as to introduce Emory University to promising work beyond its walls, currently preference will be given to applicants who are not affiliated with Emory.
Selection Criteria
Applications will be judged on the promise and significance of the proposed research project, in relation to the applicant’s own work and that of other scholars; the intellectual distinction of the applicant’s previous work; the applicant’s ability to engage in collegial interactions that will substantively contribute to the FCHI and to the University; and the contributions that the applicant’s proposed course will make to the College.
Evaluators will look for applicants and projects that will benefit from and contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of the group of Fellows and the work of the FCHI. They will also be seeking variety and balance among the disciplines represented at the Center.
application must be received by the February 18, 2010 @ 4:00PM EST
