UCLA -- Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities

The Division of Humanities at the University of California, Los Angeles, will appoint one Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities for a 1-year term beginning in the fall of 2008. The Fellow must have earned a doctoral degree no earlier than January 2002 and no later than June 2008. The Mellon Fellowship provides a stipend of $50,000 a year, standard fringe benefits, a one-time moving allowance of $1,500, plus a small research budget of $1,000. The Fellow will be housed in a relevant home department for which he/she will teach two courses. The Fellow is required to be in residence and to participate in the monthly Mellon Seminar in Digital Humanities. For 2008-09, the theme is “Technologies of the Text” and explores, through attention to both “new” and “old” media, the tremendous range of technologies of access to, and preservation of, language and accompanying image and sound across the millennia.

There is no application form. Applicants should send a cover letter, a description (no more than 1500 words) of the scholarly project relevant to the program, a CV, and three letters of recommendation by February 1, 2008, to:
