Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities — 2026-27 Theme ‘Practice’

Deadline:

November 2

Length/Track:

One year

Description:

Theme is Practice: “Join us for a year of thought and creation about the practice of practice, about practice and joy, about the relationship between practice and change, about practice and solidarity, about practice and survival, and about practice and failure. In fellowship and in community, we will hold seminars, lectures, and performances about the topic, fueled by human curiosity and using tried-and-true humanistic practices of inquiry and critique. 

“Preference will be given to candidates not yet in tenure track positions whose proposals are interdisciplinary and would particularly benefit from and contribute to Penn’s intellectual life.” “The PhD (and its international equivalent, such as the DPhil) is the only eligible terminal degree. The degree must be in the humanities or in allied fields as anthropology or history of science.”
