Overview
The UNC-Chapel Hill Center for the Study of the American South invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the history, culture, or society of the American South which begin July 1 of the award year. The application deadline for the 2011-2012 Postdoctoral Fellowship is November 12, 2010.
This award supports an outstanding junior scholar in the revision of a book-length manuscript for publication in a field related to the South, broadly construed to include the states of the former Confederacy and adjoining areas. We especially welcome proposals that will utilize the special collections of the UNC-CH Library or other research collections of the Triangle area, and explicitly engage issues of southern regional identity or distinctiveness.
The fellowship provides a salary of $42,500 plus health insurance and $3,000 in research and travel funds. The fellow may arrange to teach no more than one course at UNC during the fellowship term.
Requirements
Applicants must have received the Ph.D. prior to the beginning of the fellowship year and no more than four years should have lapsed before the year begins. Scholars who have received tenure, published a previous scholarly book, or signed a book publication contract (except with UNC Press) are not eligible. The CSAS Fellowship is a residential award, so Fellows are expected to reside within the Chapel Hill area and take an active part in the intellectual life of the Center.
Publication
Acceptance commits the Fellow to submit her or his revised manuscript to UNC Press and to grant the Press the right of first refusal. Consideration will follow the established peer-review procedures of the Press.
Applications:
Applications must consist of three hard copies and one electric copy of each of the following:
•cover sheet
•curriculum vitae.
•three letters of recommendation (no electronic copies required).
•three- to five-page description of the project, including plans for revision of the existing manuscript.
•writing sample from the project of no more than thirty pages. (If selected, Fellow must submit a hard copy of the existing manuscript.)
