Postdoctoral Fellowship: Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry, Washington U., St. Louis

More details from COS at http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/fo2/getRec?id=53959. Please share with senior PhD students on the job market.

Washington University announces the tenth 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 of 2001 the Fellowship Program has brought 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. 

Fellows will outline a plan for their own continuing research to be pursued with a senior faculty mentor from Washington University. Over the course of their two-year appointment, fellows will teach three undergraduate courses and collaborate during a spring term in leading a seminar in the theory and methods of interdisciplinary research.
