Postdoctoral and Junior Faculty Fellowships: The American Academy of Arts & Sciences

The American Academy of Arts & Sciences, an international learned society located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, invites applications for its 2011-2012 scholar-in-residence program. Preference will be given to untenured junior faculty. Qualified postdoctoral scholars are also invited to apply. The Academy seeks proposals that relate to its research areas: Science & Global Security, Social Policy & American Institutions, Humanities & Culture, and Education. Projects that address American cultural, social, or political issues from the founding period to the present are welcome, as are studies that examine developments in public policy.

Candidates should consider the relationship of their work to archival, library, and other intellectual resources in the Boston area. In addition to conducting individual research, Visiting Scholars are expected to participate in seminars and other Academy events.

The stipend is $40,000 for postdoctoral scholars; $60,000 for junior faculty (not to exceed one half of salary).

The postmark deadline for applications is October 15, 2010.
