STANFORD UNIVERSITY POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP:
CULTURES OF NATURE IN THE AMERICAN WEST


Application Deadline: April 1, 2010

The Environmental Humanities Project, in collaboration with the Woods Institute for the Environment and the Bill  Lane Center for the American West at Stanford
University, seeks applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship focusing on cultures of nature in the American West. Applicants' research should focus on how cultures shape conceptions of nature, the natural, species boundaries, uses of plants and animals and natural resources, the human body in its environmental dimensions, or environmental health and illness; how cultures of nature form and dissolve; how cultures map nature, literally and metaphorically; how  cultures of nature rooted in particular places develop dimensions beyond that place (e.g. in the virtual realm); and what practical differences such cultures make for human uses of the environment and in shaping nature.

The postdoctoral fellow will be a leader in the Environmental Humanities Project, a new initiative at Stanford designed to develop an interdisciplinary community across departments, programs and research areas in the Humanities involving environmental issues.
This community will also seek to build bridges to the social and natural sciences.

Fellows should be committed to this goal and will be expected to participate actively in building such a community.  In addition, they will teach one class and participate in workshops and seminars. The appointment is for one year but may be renewed for an additional year.
Applicants must have their doctoral degree in hand 30 days prior to the appointment start date.

The concept of "cultures of nature" is conceived broadly to include indigenous, ethnic, class-based, local, professional formations and subcultures. The American West is understood as the United States west of the Mississippi, western Canada, Mexico, and their interfaces with the Pacific region. We welcome applicants from anthropology, history, literary and cultural studies, political science, sociology and urban studies,  as well as candidates from the natural sciences with a strong interest in multidisciplinary methods and the humanities. We particularly encourage applicants who are interested in working with a variety of sources, including data, maps, images, and multimedia visualization techniques. Applicants should be comfortable working in a collaborative research setting. The
fellowship research project will be developed by the candidate in collaboration with scholars from a variety of related disciplines, and will have  an associated public outreach dimension.

For further information please contact  Ursula K. Heise uheise@stanford.edu, Professor of English, Director of the Program in Modern Thought and Literature and faculty coordinator of the Environmental Humanities Project, or Jon Christensen jonchristensen@stanford.edu, Executive Director, Bill Lane Center for the American West, Stanford University
http://west.stanford.edu/fellowships/postdoc.html

Applicants should submit the following materials by April 1, 2010:
- Cover letter,
- CV,
- 1000-word project proposal,
- dissertation abstract,
- 25-page writing sample,
- three letters of recommendation.

SSRC Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship Program - up to $5,000 for summer research

APPLICATION DEADLINE: JANUARY 29, 2010
The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF) is organized to help early-stage graduate students in the humanities and social sciences formulate effective doctoral dissertation proposals.

Each year, the program offers training within different interdisciplinary fields of study under the leadership of pairs of tenured senior faculty, who define the fields and serve as research directors for groups of 12 graduate students. The students participate in two workshops: one in the spring, to prepare students to undertake summer research that will inform the design of their dissertation research; the other in the fall, to help students apply their summer research experiences to writing dissertation and funding proposals.
Students may apply for up to $5,000 to cover summer research costs.
Working together, research directors and graduate students design research that will help to shape evolving fields in the humanities and social science.

The DPDF program is open to doctoral students in social science or humanities disciplines who have completed their major course requirements and are beginning to design research proposals. Students who have completed their comprehensive, general, or qualifying exams are eligible to apply as long as their dissertation proposals will be formally approved by their department after the fall DPDF workshop. Typically such students will be second and third year graduate students, but first and fourth year student may, under exceptional circumstances, be eligible.
Applicants must be enrolled full-time in a Ph.D. program within an accredited university in the United States, unless indicated otherwise for a particular field.
