Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry:
A Postdoctoral Program in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Washington University announces the third year of an Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage
interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching across the humanities and social
sciences.  Beginning in September 2001, and lasting for five years, the
Fellowship Program brings to Washington University new and recent Ph.D.s who
wish to strengthen their own advanced training and to participate in the
university's ongoing interdisciplinary programs and seminars.

The Postdoctoral Fellows will receive two-year appointments with stipends;
for the 2003-04 academic year the annual stipend will be  $37,200.   Fellows
will outline a plan for their own continuing research in association with a
senior faculty member at Washington University.  Over the course of their
two-year appointment, Fellows will teach three undergraduate courses in
their home discipline and collaborate each spring semester in leading a
seminar in the theory and methods of interdisciplinary research.

There is no application form, but further information on Modeling
Interdisciplinary Inquiry is available at the address below and on the Web
at http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~szwicker/Mellon_Postdoctoral_Program.html.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, a description of their research
program (no more than three single-spaced pages), a brief proposal for the
seminar in theory and methods, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of
recommendation. All materials should be submitted in paper copy.

Submit materials by December 1, 2002, to
