Sawyer Seminar Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biopolitics for 2011-2012
Sawyer Seminar Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biopolitics for 2011-2012
The Center for the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship beginning July 1, 2011. The fellow will take a leading role in a Sawyer Seminar entitled
“Biopolitics: Life in Past and Present,” which is funded by the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.
The postdoctoral fellow may come from any discipline in the humanities or interpretive social sciences. We especially welcome work that theorizes or historicizes the concept of life; work at the intersection of the humanities and life sciences; and work that challenges disciplinary or methodological boundaries. The applicant must have received his or her PhD between July 1,
2006 and June 30, 2011. The stipend for the postdoctoral fellowship is $44,842, plus benefits.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter outlining their research and its relation to the seminar’s theme, current curriculum vitae, chapter-length writing sample, and letters from two referees to Sandy
Nuzback (*snuzback@wisc.edu*). All materials except for the letters, which
should come directly from the referees, should be sent as a single MS Word or PDF document. Applications must be received by November 15, 2010.
