=================== HES POSTING ======================
KENTUCKY COMMONWEALTH POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS IN THE HUMANITIES
The University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky announce three
joint UK/UofL postdoctoral fellowships in the humanities. These positions
are part of a new Commonwealth Humanities initiative of the two
Universities. The joint search committee seeks candidates who are creative
and show promise for innovative and integrative humanities research and
teaching, along with disciplinary expertise in a humanities field.
Each Commonwealth Humanities Fellow will be associated with one or more
senior scholars and will participate in scholarly work leading to
publication and presentation. The Fellow will be expected to design and
teach up to two courses per semester. These courses may include
traditional lecture-based or seminar courses and other innovative teaching
experiences. The teaching assignment will be based on the complexity of
the courses, nature of the research program and unique projects of the
Fellow. Courses may be team taught.
Each Fellow will have a primary scholar-mentor at either UofL or at UK and
be located there. He or she will spend at least one week of each semester
teaching students and presenting research seminars at the partner
institution. Fellows will be involved also in community-based projects in
the humanities.
Candidates from the humanities and humanistically-inflected social science
disciplines are eligible. The successful candidate will hold the Ph.D. by
the time of appointment. Along with a letter of application, send a vita,
evidence of successful teaching, an abstract of the dissertation, a
one-page description of a proposed undergraduate course and a one-page
description of current and future research interests. Applicants should
arrange for three letters of recommendation from senior scholars, at least
two from their discipline, to be sent to the address below.
The Joint Search Committee will begin review of applications on March 1,
1998 and continue until all positions are filled. The appointments may
begin as early as August 1998. Fellows will receive $ 29,000 plus benefits
(according to the policies of the hiring institution). The program has a
travel budget to support Fellows in attending professional meetings to make
presentations. The Fellow is evaluated each year, and the appointment may
be renewed. Fellows will have two weeks' vacation (10 working days), in
addition to holidays observed by the hiring institution.
