A.W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities, Pittsburgh PA (U.S.A.)

Carnegie Mellon University, with the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is pleased to accept applications for two A.W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities for the 2011-2013 academic years. These fellowships are designed to foster the academic careers of scholars who have recently received their Ph.D. degrees by permitting them to pursue their research while gaining mentored experience as teachers and members of one of Carnegie Mellon's four humanities departments (English, History, Modern Languages, and Philosophy) in which they will be housed.

The Department of Philosophy seeks candidates whose research focuses on semantics or pragmatics of natural languages from the perspective of linguistics, philosophy, logic or computer science. Candidates whose work is of relevance to the research directions of the department's Centerqq for Formal Epistemology are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applications for the 2011-2013 fellowships must be received in the Administrator's office by November 19, 2010. For more information, see http://www.hss.cmu.edu/philosophy/job-mellon-fellowship.php. Should you have more questions, please direct them to hssdean at andrew.cmu.edu.
