MICHIGAN SOCIETY OF FELLOWS

1998-2001 Postdoctoral Fellowships
Application Deadline: October 11, 1997

The Society of Fellows, under the auspices of the Rackham Graduate School,
was established in 1970 with endowment grants from the Ford Foundation and
the Horace H. and Mary Rackham Funds. The most distinctive aspect of the
Society is a multidisciplinary emphasis which gives the Fellows an
opportunity to interact across disciplines and to expand their horizons and
knowledge.
While their own scholarship is enriched, the Fellows also enrich the the
University of Michigan through teaching during their residency and bringing
new insights to other faculty members. Each year the Society selects four
outstanding applicants for appointment to three-year fellowships in the
arts and humanities, in the social, physical and life sciences, and in the
professional schools. The newly appointed Postdoctoral Fellows join a
unique interdisciplinary community composed of their peers as well as
Senior Fellows. The Chair of the Society is James Boyd White, L. Hart
Wright Professor of Law at the University of Michigan.

We invite applications from qualified candidates who are at the beginning
of their academic careers, having received the Ph.D. or comparable
professional or artistic degree between September 1, 1995, and September 1,
1998. Fellows are appointed as Assistant Professors in appropriate
departments at the University of Michigan and as Postdoctoral Scholars in
the Michigan Society of Fellows. They are expected to be in residence
during the academic years of the fellowship, to teach for the equivalent of
one academic year, to participate in the informal intellectual life of the
Society, and to devote time to their independent research. The annual
stipend will be $32,500.
