Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis Postdoc and Fellowship

FYI Deadline: December 15, 2007
For more information visit
http://rcha.rutgers.edu

The Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis invites applications from all disciplines for post-doctoral and senior resident fellowships to be held during the academic year of 2008-9 from individuals working on Vernacular Epistemologies.

This interdisciplinary project considers forms of knowledge that diverge from, challenge, entangle with, and complicate fundamental categories or apparatuses most obviously identifiable with European Enlightenment. In thinking of and with 'vernacular' practices and knowledges, the seminar will also explore processes by which categories and performances were rendered 'parochial' or 'local' by taxonomic projects of others. By this means, we hope to ensure that contested and mutable categories from social pasts, even when translated and incorporated into cosmopolitan epistemes, remain salient for creative research and narration of complex histories.

In 2008-9, the seminar will discuss Time and Value. We will explore plural notions of time in the past, its valence in music, art, notions of history and narration, their differential imbrications with shifting ideas of value, historical subjectivity, and social life itself. Both categories offer rich potential for rethinking relationships between ethics and politics, exchange and redistribution, forms of numeracy, facticity and regimes of truth. (The Vernacular Epistemologies project will explore the theme of Body/Soul Mind in 2009-2010) We welcome scholars of all disciplines, geographic and temporal contexts, from within and outside the North American academy. Applicants need not be US citizens. Rutgers is an AA/EOE institution. The deadline for applications is December 15, 2007. Applicants and those interested in presenting a paper related to this project during 2008/2009 should contact the project directors:
Profs. Julie Livingston & Indrani Chatterjee/ Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis/ 88 College Ave/ New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8542/USA. Email rcha@rci.rutgers.edu, or visit http://rcha.rutgers.edu

This fellowship, named in honor of a distinguished member of the American Philosophical Society, is designed to support an outstanding doctoral student at an American university who is conducting dissertation research. There are two special features to this fellowship.

First, the objective of the John Hope Franklin Dissertation Fellowship is to help remedy the serious shortage of faculty of color in core fields in the arts and sciences, by supporting the Ph.D. projects of minority students of great promise (particularly African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans) as well as other talented students who have a demonstrated commitment to eradicating racial
disparities and enlarging minority representation in academia.

Second, the John Hope Franklin Fellow is expected to spend a significant amount of time in residence at the APS Library and therefore all applicants should be pursuing dissertation topics in which the holdings of the Library are especially strong, such as quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, computer development, the history of genetics and eugenics, the history of medicine, Early American political and cultural history,
natural history in the 18th and 19th centuries, the development of cultural anthropology, or American Indian linguistics and culture. The APS Library's extensive collections in these and many other fields are fully described on our website at www.amphilsoc.org/library.

The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF) is a strategic fellowship program designed to help graduate students in the humanities and social sciences formulate doctoral dissertation proposals that are intellectually pointed, amenable to completion in a reasonable time frame, and competitive in fellowship competitions.

The program is organized around distinct "research fields," subdisciplinary and interdisciplinary domains with common intellectual questions and styles of research. Each year, an SSRC Faculty Advisory Committee selects five fields proposed by pairs of research directors who are tenured professors at different doctoral degree-granting programs at U.S. universities. Research directors receive a stipend of $7500. Graduate students in the early phase of their research, generally 2nd and 3rd years, apply to one of five research fields led by the two directors; each group is made up of ten to twelve graduate students. Fellows participate in two workshops, one in the late spring that helps prepare them to undertake predissertation research on their topics; and one in the early fall, designed to help them synthesize their summer research and to draft proposals for dissertation funding. Fellows are eligible to apply for up to $5000 from SSRC to support
predissertation research during the summer.
