Carnegie Mellon’s Center for the Arts in Society
FELLOWSHIP IN THE ARTS IN SOCIETY
2008-2009

Scholars and artists who are in possession of their terminal degree (Ph.D. or M.F.A.) in any field of humanistic inquiry or artistic endeavor are invited to apply for an Arts in Society Fellowship, supported by the Center for the Arts in Society at Carnegie Mellon University (www.hss.cmu.edu/cas/). The purpose of this fellowship is to provide scholars and artists with time to further their own work in a cross-disciplinary setting, to associate with distinguished faculty, and to contribute to an innovative humanities and arts initiative at the University.

For periods of either one or two academic semesters, the Center for the Arts in Society will provide the Fellow with office space, staff support, a generous research grant ($7,500 for one semester; $15,000 for the full academic year), and the organization of public lectures and seminars. The Fellow is expected to further the goals of the Center for the Arts in Society while in residence at Carnegie Mellon, although connections with other institutions of higher learning are encouraged.

Applications should address the issue of “arts in society,” offering unique interdisciplinary perspectives on the topic.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Must be received by January 18, 2008.

Candidates for the Fellowship should submit the following documents:

a) Online application form
b) Introductory cover letter
c) One-page research prospectus
d) Full curriculum vitae
e) Three letters of recommendation (these may arrive separately by mail or email, but they must arrive by the deadline)

Applications that do not include the online application form will not be considered.

You may submit documents by mail to the address below, or as email attachments to:
