Positions with 2022 Application Deadlines [ ]

Acls fellowship - deadline 28 sept. 2022 [ ].

ACLS invites research proposals from scholars in all disciplines of the humanities and related social sciences. Given the disproportionate effect the pandemic’s social and economic disruptions have had on emerging, independent, and untenured scholars, ACLS will continue in the 2022-23 competition year to offer these fellowships solely to untenured scholars who have earned the PhD within eight years of the application deadline. ACLS welcomes applications from scholars without faculty appointments and scholars off the tenure track.

- Seems like acceptances will go out any day now if they haven’t already. Any news? [2/27]

-In the past few years it seems offers were always sent out in late Feb. Can I assume that if we haven't heard of anything by now it automatically means rejection? I have written to them asking about the timeline of notification but no reply. [2/28]

- I'm also waiting. No news yet. [2/28]

- Same here. No news. [3/1] x2

- I haven’t heard anything. I was awarded a Diss Fellowship from ACLS in 2016 and I remember them being very strict about posting anything about acceptance anywhere on the web. I’m a selective rule-follower so still posted to the Wiki, but others may respect their wishes.

-I checked the Wiki pages for previous years and acceptances typically went out in late Feb and mass rejection on 3/23 or 24, after the contracts were sealed. So be prepared for one month's torment in vain. Some named award sent out acceptances and rejections around the same time. Don't know why the general fellowships handle things differently. They could easily notify those who are not on the waitlist asap.

- Awarded Fellowship [3/2]

-Congrats! And thanks for bringing closure to the rest of us [3/2]

-(3/22) Rejection received

-(3/23) It looks like acceptances and rejections have both gone out. I haven't heard anything yet. Does this mean I could be on the waitlist? Or do they send out the rejections in batches?

Austrian Academy of Sciences - Deadline: May 1, 2023 [ ]

Fellowships in the ERC Consolidator Grant Project (2023-2028) : Theatre and Gentrification in the European City

4 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITIONS starting in September 2023.

“Theatre and Gentrification in the European City” (THEAGENT) is a five-year research project funded by the European Research Council’s (ERC) Consolidator Grant Program with a 2 million Euro grant. Located in the Institute for Urban and Regional Research (ISR) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), and conducted under the direction of Principal Investigator Dr. Emine Fişek, the project combines multi-sited ethnographic and archival research to analyze the relationship between theatre practices and urban transformation in five European metropoles in the twenty-first century: London, Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, and Istanbul. Ground-breaking in its mixed methodology, this project will be the first to explore theatre’s role in the cultural dimensions of Europe’s urban transformations, as well as to demonstrate gentrification’s role in the politics of contemporary European theatre.

For further details:   https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Jobs/ISR/ISR014PD223.pdf

Application requirements include a cover letter describing the candidates’ academic experience and qualifications, as well as their plans for research relating to THEAGENT, curriculum vitae, one English-language writing sample, and three confidential letters of recommendation.

12/7 - Request for letters of recommendation (x4)

12/9 - Communication with program staff re: letters of rec requests on the application in Academic Jobs Online (AJO) system but not sent to applicants via email. "AJO made some updates in the system that changed application statuses this week. At this moment, no further action is required on your part. Our selection committee is currently still reviewing applications." Sounds like a false alarm if you've only seen the request for recommendations in AJO and haven't been notified via email.

1/19/23 - Generic rejection email received x2

-- to the poster above, had you received the rec letter request?

1/19/23 - Received request to interview for the program (interviews with the Selection Committee and potential host unit department)

-– also curious about this. got a request for letters a while back but neither a rejection nor an interview invite. anyone else in the same boat?

--I'm in the same position (request for letters but no interview or rejection)

• 1/24 Invited to interview with members of the selection committee and host department

-- anyone else out there get request for letters but still no rejection or interview? congrats to those who advanced

-- Yes, as of 2/3 I got the request for letters but no rejection and no interview. During the FAQ session back in the fall they did say that some applicants would be asked to interview or provide a dissertation abstract or a writing sample. I'm assuming a lot of this is based on individual CAS departments and programs which may explain the discrepancy in notifications?

-- 2/3 found out that the last of the candidate interviews are scheduled for next week (week of 2/6)

- - thanks for the intel. Not looking good lol

--2/17 Offer made and accepted

-- Congratulations to all who got an offer. Still in the 'no reply' camp (2/21).

3/2 rejection received (x2)

University of Basel, eikones: Three NOMIS Postdoctoral Fellowships - Deadline 17 Oct. 2022 [ ]

eikones – Center for the Theory and History of the Image at the University of Basel

The center invites applications from outstanding junior and senior researchers in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences for three one-year NOMIS Fellowships beginning September 1, 2023.

Since 2005, eikones has served as a center for graduate and postgraduate research on images. The center is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of images as instruments of human knowledge and cultural practices. It investigates the functions and effects of images throughout history and in our contemporary society from analytical and empirical perspectives.

The NOMIS Fellowship Program supports groundbreaking research projects related to how images act as models or paradigms in scientific and aesthetic contexts. We are interested in the fundamental ways images serve as instruments for making complex structures visible and accessible to interpretation. In both aesthetic and experimental settings, images often assume an exemplary character, aiding epistemic and learning processes. They fulfill evidential, didactic, and symbolic functions, and thereby produce different forms of knowledge. Relevant topics of research might consider, for example, the history and theory of imaging techniques in the natural sciences; the ideals and stereotypes that shape social contexts and political discussions; or the formation and dissolution of canons, iconographies, character types, and styles in the arts. On the methodological side, the projects should be rooted in a specific research field, and reflect on the relation between their individual discipline and image studies.

The fellowships will allow outstanding scholars and scientists to pursue their research free from teaching and administrative obligations. Fellows receive a generous salary, travel funds, conference funds, and access to excellent academic infrastructure. Applications will be selected based on scholarly achievement and promise, and relevance to the topic of images as models. Preference will be given to excellent young scholars with innovative approaches. Fellows are expected to be in residence at eikones in Basel and to participate in select institutional events.

Application Requisites

·       Applicants must possess a doctoral degree.

·       Applicants must have previously have published either a monograph (e.g. their dissertation) OR three articles in journals or collected volumes.

·       Applicants from all academic fields whose research relates to images as models are invited to apply.

·       Applications may be submitted in either German or English.

Application Materials

1.    Cover letter

2.    CV

3.    Contact details for two references (no letters)

4.    Copy of doctoral diploma

The university seeks applicants whose research, practice, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education and at the University of Minnesota. About the Position At the University of Minnesota, postdoctoral associates are academic employees who conduct research and/or advance their artistic praxis and are supported by a network of mentors who will welcome fellows to the our schools/departments, partner with them on advancing their research agenda/body of work, expose them to new research techniques and/or practices, work towards their full integration into the program, and connect them to resources beyond their home departments. This one-year fellowship is renewable for a second year. Renewing for a second year has been the norm with previous President’s Postdoctoral Fellows at the University of Minnesota. Postdoctoral Fellow in African or East Asian History The Department of History invites diverse PPFP applicants whose research, teaching, and service builds upon our program’s existing strengths in Africa (especially the possibility of expanding our coverage into the Horn of Africa) or East Asia (especially China). We welcome applicants who work in all historical periods, but have particular needs in the early modern/pre-modern period. Preferred thematic research areas include: Race, Ethnicity, Migration, Diasporas; Public History; Empire/Colonialism; Environmental History; and/or Disability and Illness. Fellows are not required to teach, but may do so by overload assignment in the second year. At the end of the postdoctoral fellowship period, the fellow will be considered by the Department of History for a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position. The award-winning faculty in the Department of History are interdisciplinary and multifaceted in their approaches to history, with expertise ranging from the ancient and medieval to the modern and post-modern and an eye to new directions including public history and digital humanities. The Department of History commits itself to fostering a truly democratic education by promoting, through studies, deliberation, and action, values that are central to robust and pluralistic democracy. This commitment includes (1) intersectional diversity: adopting interventions that work toward undoing hierarchies of race, class, gender and bases of exclusion by group or identity; (2) equity: recognizing that a just society must actively combat the inequalities of outcome that result from these hierarchies; and (3) inclusion: creating an environment in which historically under-represented individuals and groups not only subjectively feel part of the department, but are empowered to shape its collective life. Mentorship/Selection for History In your application, please a) specify the Department of History and b) your chosen departmental faculty mentor from among our faculty ( https://cla.umn.edu/history/people/faculty ). Applicants are encouraged to identify one or more faculty mentor(s) in their Research Proposal, but the Department of History has designated Professor David Chang ([email protected]) as the acting “Faculty Mentor” all applicants should list when they upload their materials to the UC Portal System. In the preliminary application process, the acting “Faculty Mentor” will generate automated mentor letters of support for all applicants. After reviewing all applications, the search committee will contact the list of applicants who have been selected for the second phase of the search. For inquiries related to the PPFP, please contact Department Chair and Professor Sarah C. Chambers at [email protected]. Eligibility and Evaluation of all PPFP Applicants to the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota: Preferred applicants will have completed their doctoral degree in their field within the past ten (10) academic years and no later than August 27, 2023. The primary criterion for selection is evidence of scholarship and creative work competitive for a potential tenure track appointment in the postdoctoral fellow’s department/school. An important secondary criterion is the support of the proposed department/School and mentor(s) to host the fellow, and the extent to which the candidate’s research, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education and at the University of Minnesota.

University of Utah (USA: UT) - Postdoc in Place Effects on Health - Review Begins March 1, 2023 [ ]

Qualifications/Responsibilities : Applicants must have their doctoral degree in epidemiology, sociology, geography, economics, or a related field by the start of the position. Expertise in areas of social, structural, and/or geographical determinants of health is strongly preferred, as is experience with longitudinal and spatial analysis. Duties of the postdoctoral associate include preparation of area-level data, data analysis, and manuscript writing. The position will entail working closely with an interdisciplinary team of investigators from the fields of lifespan development, population health, sociology, geography, and biostatistics. The associate will engage in self-directed research and team science, as they take the lead on one to two manuscripts per year and co-author several additional ones. Advanced research training and access to University resources will be provided to help the associate prepare for a research career.

Application Procedure: Submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of three references, and two relevant publications or preprints at https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/144226. Review of applications will begin on March 1, 2023 and will continue until filled. Position starts July 1, 2023, but this date is flexible. For inquiries, please contact the primary supervisor Dr. David Curtis at [ [9] ].

A second postdoctoral associate position is available at Hong Kong University. This position is linked to this research project and has similar qualifications and expectations, but the employer and employment site will be Hong Kong University. Direct inquiries to the site faculty mentor, Ming Wen, at [ [10] ].

Related Information : The project is NIH-funded (by the National Institute on Aging) and examines how place-based features influence midlife mortality risk among the working-age population, especially from cardiometabolic conditions as well as drug, suicide, and alcohol-related causes. Recent mortality trends have generated considerable attention, and the underlying structural forces are partly known to include: reduced opportunities for working-age adults without a college degree; an increase in prescribed opioids from 1999-2011 and recent surge in availability of synthetic opioids; and obesogenic built environments and social norms. Yet, the specific mechanisms linking these structural forces to health and mortality are not well understood. Moreover, little is known about the interconnections between structural forces and features of the social, built, and natural environments as they relate to health. The project draws from two unique datasets linked with multidimensional area- and place-based data that will enable us to overcome limitations of prior research on area effects on health. First, the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study includes three waves of rich psychosocial and health assessments from 1995 through 2014 and more than twenty years of mortality follow-up. Second, the Utah Population Database (UPDB) includes Utah death records, covering the period of 2000 through 2020, linked within families and to an extensive set of state administrative and health records. While MIDUS provides national scope and breadth of psychosocial processes, UPDB will allow for examining rich place-based measures with a large sample of working-age Utahans ( N = 1,614,470; 142,330 deaths observed), modeling spatial processes, and considering family risk factors.

The position is in the Department of Family and Consumer Studies (https://www.fcs.utah.edu) at the University of Utah. The University is a PAC-12, Carnegie RU/VH Research University, a member of the Association of American Universities, and Utah’s flagship university. The University is located in beautiful Salt Lake City, which offers an outstanding quality of life in a metropolitan area of 1.5 million residents, nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. Utah’s great outdoors are close by and offer world class skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. The city is cosmopolitan with theater, arts, sports, entertainment, and nightlife. Salt Lake City has a racially/ethnically diverse population and the 10th highest proportion of LGBTQ residents of metro areas.

Washington University in St. Louis - TRIADS Postdoctoral Fellowship (Transdisciplinary Institute in Applied Data Science) [ ]

https://jobs.chronicle.com/job/37433703/postdoctoral-fellow-transdisciplinary-institute-in-applied-data-science-triads

Deadline: May 15

The Transdisciplinary Institute in Applied Data Science (TRIADS) at Washington University in St. Louis is seeking applications for a new Postdoctoral Fellows Program for the 2023-2024 academic year. The appointments are for one year with the possibility of renewing for a second year contingent upon satisfactory performance, and the anticipated start date is July 1, 2023. Fellows will receive a salary, benefits, as well as an annual budget to pay for travel costs and research expenses.

The mission of TRIADS is to support transdisciplinary research programs that harness advanced methods and tools in the service of better understanding our world and addressing urgent social issues. We are looking for fellows who are interested in researching critical issues facing society in a collaborative way, including both methodological and applied researchers. We take a broad view of data science and encourage applicants from all research traditions to apply.  Skills of interest include, but are not limited to, novel methods of data collection, data analysis, algorithm design, theoretical modeling, and applied quantitative or qualitative analysis in relevant substantive domains.

Fellows will pursue their own research agenda in a vibrant interdisciplinary intellectual community and connect with mentors in multiple fields. In addition, fellows will be responsible for participating/leading TRIADS activities and honing their professional skills through constructing a new curriculum of workshops and short courses for our community. We are looking for self-motivated scholars who will contribute new ideas and actively seek collaborations with other fellows, faculty, and students across all schools at Washington University.

A core value of TRIADS is to create an open and inclusive intellectual community. We strongly encourage applications from researchers with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities. You can learn more about policies to help postdocs from all backgrounds thrive at Washington University in St. Louis at: https://postdoc.wustl.edu/policies-benefits/

Examples of areas of research

TRIADS Postdoctoral Fellows will collaborate with faculty at Washington University in St. Louis in a wide array of research areas, and the program offers numerous opportunities to engage with the broader data science community at the university and beyond. Successful applicants will be expected to lead their own research agenda while collaborating with others. Some concrete examples of the kinds of research our community is engaged in are listed below.

AI and society: How can AI be better designed to interface with human decisions makers in a manner that takes into account well understood cognitive biases? How do filtering algorithms on social media work to create or remediate polarization in news consumption?

Text, audio, video, and multimodal data: Across the social sciences, scholars are exploring ways to use new forms of data to answer core social science questions. Can we use advances in large language models to better measure important concepts latent in large text corpora? How will “deep fake” technology affect the health of the information ecosystem?

Computational public health: How can we use largescale datasets of environmental factors and health outcomes to understand the geographic disparities in public health outcomes across neighborhoods in American cities? How do historical race-based redlining policies affect public health outcomes today? How can we better incorporate human behavioral constraints into models of contagion in a pandemic?

Geospatial data: Can we combine satellite imagery with data on human movement patterns to understand how physical terrain and political borders affect migration patterns? How do flooding events captured in video data in local municipalities affect the health of local residence?

Race, power, and equity: Issues facing society like structural racism require a broad approach, drawing insights from multiple disciplines and methodological traditions. How are sources of misinformation specifically targeting minority communities, and what steps can be taken to remediate these attempted manipulations? To what extent are racial/ethnic biases present in large language models, and how will this affect the outputs of products built from them?

Advances in survey methodology: Can we use large-scale datasets tracking online behavior to estimate latent public opinion on specific issues while preserving the privacy of participants? Can we better use mobile technologies for both intensive surveys and leveraging passively collected data like location and background audio? Can we use recent advances in machine learning models such as Gaussian process regression to build more flexible estimates of dynamic latent traits?

Washington University in St. Louis is committed to providing a comprehensive and competitive benefits package to our employees. Benefits eligibility is subject to employment status, full-time equivalent (FTE) workload, and weekly standard hours. Please visit our website at https://hr.wustl.edu/benefits/ to view a summary of postdoctoral benefits.

Washington University is dedicated to building a diverse community of individuals who are committed to contributing to an inclusive environment – fostering respect for all and welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Individuals with a commitment to these values are encouraged to apply.

Each year Washington University publishes a Safety and Security brochure that details what to do and whom to contact in an emergency. This report also publishes the federally required annual security and fire safety reports, containing campus crime and fire statistics as well as key university policies and procedures. You may access the Safety and Security brochure at https://police.wustl.edu/clery-reports-logs/.

We are looking for early-stage scholars who want to work in an inclusive, collaborative, and interdisciplinary research environment. All applicant must have a doctorate before their appointment begins, but we are open to many fields of study. Applicants may have training in any number of relevant areas including the social sciences, computer science, statistics, public health, or the digital humanities.

Amherst College Center for Humanistic Inquiry Fellows/ Visiting Lecturers [ ]

The Center for Humanistic Inquiry (CHI) at Amherst College seeks scholars from across the disciplines for full-time, two-year appointments as CHI Fellows and visiting lecturers.  In colloquy with one another and the Amherst community, CHI Fellows will explore the theme of Political Imagination. We invite applications from scholars whose research and/or creative work takes up some aspect of our theme (described in more detail below).

Amherst College is one of the most diverse liberal arts colleges in the country. Nearly half of our students identify as domestic students of color, and another 11 percent are international, with non-U.S. citizenship; 16 percent are the first members of their families to attend college. Amherst is committed to providing financial aid that meets 100 percent of every student’s demonstrated need, and nearly 60 percent of our students receive financial aid. Our expectation is that the successful candidate will excel at teaching and mentoring students who are broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual identity, disability/ability, and religion.

Fellowships include an annual salary of $60,000, an annual $3,000 allowance for professional research support, an office in the center, and additional support for moving expenses.  CHI Fellows are expected to be fully in residence during the 2023–2025 academic years and to participate in seminars, conferences, and other programming organized to explore the theme. Fellows will teach at least one course during the period of the fellowship.

Candidates are asked to submit electronically to http://apply.interfolio.com/123387 a cover letter that addresses the connection between the candidate’s scholarship and the center’s theme, a CV, a one-page research statement, an article- or chapter-length writing sample, and three confidential letters of recommendation addressed to Darryl Harper, director of the CHI.  A Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree is required.  Review of applications will begin on April 24, 2023, and continue until the positions are filled. Applications received by this date will be assured of full consideration.

Political Imagination

Before people can build worlds through political action, they must first imagine those worlds, then help others to do the same. Perhaps they dream of a future utopia, then recruit others into the work of making it real; or maybe they conjure a paradise lost, convincing others to help them restore it. Even people who want society to stay the same must create (and share with others) a compelling vision of the status quo–what it is, what it means, and why we need it. Then, they take action, which must itself be imaginative and compelling.

We invite applications from emerging humanities scholars who study such world-making acts of imagination, and who consider the relationship between such imaginings and political action. Their research might focus on the past, present, or future—and on societies of any kind throughout the world. We welcome projects with interdisciplinary range (e.g., connecting the arts to political theory) and comparative scope (e.g., across periods or subcultures in one society, or between societies), but we also encourage applications from scholars whose goal is to establish the special significance of tools from one academic field—or one era, culture, or social order—to understanding how the political imagination works.

Either way, the goal is to contribute to a trans-disciplinary discussion of two interrelated phenomena: (1) the political force of fictions, dreams, visions, and suppositions and (2) the imaginative work involved in building and sustaining political communities, identities, and institutions.

Amherst is a private undergraduate liberal arts college, with 1,800 students and more than two hundred faculty members.  Located in the Connecticut River Valley of western Massachusetts, Amherst participates with Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts in the Five-College Consortium.  Amherst College is an equal opportunity employer and encourages persons of all genders, persons of color, and persons with disabilities to apply.

5/19 - Any word from them? I saw on one posting that this position is supposed to start 7/1.

5/22 - Interview scheduled for next week. x2

WORD ON THE STREET

There are some fellowships not listed above, like Princeton and Harvard SOF, Cornell Klarman Fellowship, etc. Let’s create an update below;

Applied X 8

Anyone heard anything from UMBC? According to their own timeline, they were contacting people in early to mid-November to invite them for on-campus interviews.

• 11/21: Rejection received

HARVARD SOCIETY OF FELLOWS

• Harvard SoF now interview in waves throughout the Fall. Had one in mid Oct with about 10 days notice. They keep interviewing until Dec.
• 10/27 interview scheduled. Yes 10days.
• 10/27 Can you guys tell the format?
• 11/06- Harvard SOF interview schedule
• 11/07 Can anyone here w/an interview scheduled tell us how they were contacted by Harvard (i.e. email, snailmail, phone call)? Many thanks.
• 11/08 I interviewed yesterday. They call first and then follow up by email X 2.
• For those who have interviewed, did you receive feedback regarding the interview at the dinner or do they not discuss it?
• 12/4- When I have time, I think I need to write extensively on the nature and psychology of the SOF. I will post it in the last year section of this platform for others to see. I will cross-post it here too. To answer your question, it depends on who you end up chatting with. Some are interested in talking about your research, taking a cue from the interview. For others, you talk about their research or something entirely different. The point is to keep talking about whatever. In my experience, I chatted with some of the senior fellows. Some of them spoke with me in-depth about the interview and asked more questions. My interaction with another senior fellow was just on politics and changed later to stuff about physics, which I know nothing about by the way, and then to geography. People always say the dinner is important and is an extension of the interview. I really think if you did very well at the interview, the dinner is a place to wait to seal it off or say nonsense that casts doubt on your interview. So be careful how you relate at the dinner.
• To the person above - did you win the fellowship, and if not, were you able to tell that you wouldn’t get it based on what happened during the interview/dinner?
• To all SoF applicants: decision will be made this Sunday and calls will be made Sunday night. Good luck!
• 12/11- Today is the big day
• I honestly think they can't spend their Sunday meeting to decide. They had the whole week for that. In previous years, some fellows got the call on Sunday. Others received small letters of rejection between monday and friday. Infact, they would have made those letters by now, if not how come some candidates receive theirs on mondays? This is to show that decisions have been made already.
• This is firsthand knowledge obtained from someone currently in the SoF: they meet Sunday because it’s the only day that works for them all, and deliberations take many hours. They don’t meet multiple times during the week. Small letters go out to those who did not get an interview, so they have long known who will be getting those. I was told that Ana will be calling today sometime after 4 pm. If you don’t get a call today, you did not get it.
• Well that still makes so much sense.
• Offer just received by phone
• Congratulations. Around what time?
• Question: what other post-docs offer the complete scholarly freedom of the Harvard SOF?

KLARMAN FELLOWSHIP, CORNELL

• 11/05- No news on klarman.
• just curious, in what fields are you? (R1): Iberian and Latin American Cultures
• 12/2- interviewed earlier in the week. Spent about 20minutes. Looks like they just wanted to see one's face. It appears that the application material is more important than the videoconference. They asked questions that can be answered from the submitted letter. Five constant questions for every candidate.
• 12/3-Also interviewed earlier in the week. They asked me very specific questions about my research... It wasn't a particularly friendly experience hahah. Did they tell you when they would be notifying people of their decisions?
• 12/4- Well it wasn’t entirely easy too, but it just felt like they knew your work very well and that’s why they asked those questions. Perhaps you are in a field closer to their’s lol. I anticipate hearing back from them between now and the end of the week of 15th. They didn’t say this but that should be the timeline.
• 12/4 I also interviewed last week and got the “standard” questions. No in depth research ones. Might have to do with whether the interviewers are in or adjacent to your field.
• 12/8 - rejection received, no interview x2
• 12/8- Did you guys tried logging into your portal? The description on my portal changed from "Under review" to "Interviews." Not sure what that means.
• 12/14 offer received via email
• BIg news and congratulations. How long do you have to accept? (R1): Thanks! Until January 6. Did you hear from them? (fingers crossed)
• not yet, but I am very hopeful!
• [12/16] I have neither been invited for an interview nor rejected yet, and my application status is still "under review." The fellowship administrator wrote that "Though the first round of regrets has gone out, many applications are still under review at this time. We hope to communicate with the remaining applicants before the holiday break." Any idea what this means?
• 12/16. That's interesting. When did you get this message? Before or after the first interviews? This could mean that they are responding to people in phases. Obviously, they don't respond to everyone at the same time., either for rejections or acceptance
• 12/16. Responding to the above: I got this email on 12/12, so well after many others heard back about regrets or interviews.
• 1/14- any news for other candidates?
• 1/18… 180 applications, 22 interviewed. Rejection email
• 2/09 Any updates on The Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity?
• 11/07- no news on Columbia SOF but I think is too early.
• 11/27- any word?
• 11/28-no news.
• 1/27 - any updates? they said they'd contact finalists at the end of the month
• 12/17 - Received an offer via phone in the late afternoon
• 12/19 - It was one of the open fellowships
• 11/16 - no news on Dartmouth
• What did they request, if you don't mind my asking?
• Writing sample!
• 12/6: rejection received
• 12/7: Question for above posters - would you mind giving some more info on the emails you received from Dartmouth SoF? I have received neither a rejection nor a materials request, and I don't know what to make of that... (x5)
• A similar thing happened in previous years, but not sure what to make of it.
• 1/12: Any updates? In years past, interview invitations have gone out around now.
• 1/23; See posting above under Dartmouth -- interviews are happening this week
• 11/14- no news from Stanford SOF
• 11/19 no news on Boston College SOF
• Presumably this is about the Boston *University* SoF. Received a request for rec letters this morning: "After an initial review of applications, we are now requesting formal reference letters from selected applicants and are writing to request that you submit your reference letters." x2 (12/7)
• 1/19/23 Received request to interview for the program (interviews with the Selection Committee and potential host unit department).
• 1/24 Received invitation to interview with Boston University SoF (humanities)
• 11/22 - Did anyone else apply to Singapore Post-Doc? I sent my application to the email provided, but didn't get any type of confirmation/response they'd received it...
• 11/25- Anything from Michigan SOF?
• 11/28- No news on UPenn yet, and no idea about their timeline.
• 12/20- according to previous years, the decisions should come soon... any updates?
• 12/21- No updates so far
• 1/2 - still no updates on my end.
• 1/4- No news yet
• 1/9 - No news. Quite strange because previous years had decisions sent out before 12/25. I wonder what is different this year...
• ^^ the deadline this year was two weeks later.
• 1/26: still no news/rumors on this?
• 1/27 - still no updates
• 11/28: No update, but I'm also very confused about their timeline; the position needs to be approved by departments first and then you go through a secondary review, but it's unclear to me if they tell you between rounds if your application isn't moving forward.
• 2/17: any updates?
• 11/28: Just an FYI to everyone asking for updates: It is still too early for many (most!) of these postdocs to have given updates. You should really check out past years' pages to get a sense of the timeframes when decisions are announced, as they're pretty consistent year over year.=
• 12/16: nothing so far
• No news yet
• 1/10 any news here?
• 1/11 no updates
• 1/12 rejection email received (x1)
• 1/13 no news here, perhaps rejection letters are sent out on different days?
• 1/22 received an unofficial offer
• 12/9: Request for additional materials for the Harper/Schmidt (Social Science Core)
• 12/16: Any news from the Humanities Core?
• 12/16: Request for additional materials for the Social Science Core. The email was a bit confusing. Not clear if they are requesting materials from every applicant or only from those that made it to next stage. Any thoughts?
• 12/27: Request for additional materials for the Humanities Core (x2)
• Anything else after this?
• 2/6: Nope, email from program admin said interview requests would be sent out in "early March" for interviews in March
• Yes early March thing was for Humanities Core!
• 3/3: None yet over here
• 3/5: None yet here either
• 3/10: Still nothing?
• 3/10: nothing over here :(
• 3/10: Same here..... hoping this means that notice hasn't gone out, not that the Elect just aren't checking this page...
• 3/14: any news for Humanities Core?
• 3/15 nothing here either!
• congrats! thanks for the update and good luck!
• You got an interview request on a Sunday? How considerate of Chicago.
• 3/16: Has anyone been in touch with the program coordinator, or received firmer details elsewhere on when rejections will be sent?
• 3/20: Crickets over here...
• 5/16: offer received for humanities core
• 12/19: Rejection Letter from Michigan SOF and Invitation for Interview from Columbia Received
• 12/19 No news from Stanford (history)
• 1/4 No news here
• 1/13 Any word? It seems that applicants found out about moving to the departmental review round around this time last year.
• 1/13 Nothing yet...
• 1/18 Same, nothing ... But if someone does, please let us know to put us out of our misery sooner than later
• 1/19 Last year, the mid-results came out on 1/11, and its purpose was to request recommendations from those moving on to the departmental review round. This year, recommendations were part of the application from the start. This makes me think that they may be going straight to the next round without notifying applicants of their mid-results. Just a guess, though.
• Last year, the order was from the mellon committee review to the departmental review. This transition involved narrowing down the applicant pool to 100 for the departmental review (from about 800-900 applicants, I think). This information was included in the semi-finalist notification.
• ^^thanks! I heard over a month ago that departments had sent a list of recommendations to the mellon committee. That + some reasons that have already been mentioned make me think that the process is different this year.
• 1/27 Any news?
• 2/1: Application status has disappeared from the "online application portal" homepage. A sign that there's at least some kind of movement going on. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
• 2/8 Any word from Stanford? -- 2/9 None yet here
• 2/10 No news yet (x2)
• 2/13 Any news?
• 2/14 notified as alternate (x2)-- Congrats! For which of the three departments, if you don't mind being asked? -- OP: History, but the notification was from the Mellon program not the department
• 2/14: offer received
• yes, offer received on 2/14
• Rejected 2/27 (Linguistics)- email said only 4 spots available out of 776 applications
• Rejected 2/27 (GS)

• 1/10 No news yet, any idea about the timeline?

• 1/17 Invitation to interview for CC (x2)
• Congrats to the above posters - Can someone please clarify if the Core Curriculum and the Global Works & Society Postdoc are the same thing? Thanks! (x2)
• 1/18: Nope, they're separate: Core Curriculum is internal and run through the College of Arts and Sciences, whereas Works & Society is open to external applicants and housed in the Liberal Studies school. Were the invites mentioned above for W&S or CC?-- congrats btw!! –– thank you! mine was for CC (I adjusted the post) -- Great, Thanks!
• 3/7: Any word from the CC after interviews?
• 3/13: Offer received (x2)
• 1/19: None here-- my Interfolio app does have space for new documents that I cannot submit though. Anyone else seeing this? I took it as a silent rejection but maybe it's too early to tell.
• 1/19: Interesting - It's the same for me on Interfolio. I see space for more teaching materials and letters of rec, but cannot submit. Still, also have not gotten a rejection yet.
• Feb 14: Any word on NYU Global Works and Society?
• Feb 15: Rejection
• Feb 18: Anyone else not receive a rejection nor any other news?
• 1/8 - Anyone hear anything about the Folger Institute postdoc? or the timeline?
• any updates? I sent an email last week to ask about when we will receive updates and have gotten no response. (2/14)
• Rejection email received (3/24)
• Anyone who got an earlier shortlist email still waiting for news? (3/29)
• Wasn't the deadline only five days ago on 1/8? It will take some time to hear back...
• some people heard back (for letters) in about a week two years ago.
• Request for letters of recommendation (1/17- x2)
• 1/18: the letter, was it for Princeton and were you notified or the letter writers?
• 1/18: it was for Princeton and the letter writers were notified.- x2
• 1/19: fwiw, you can find out if Princeton requested letters by looking at your application. If letters were requested it will say if the letter has been submitted or not
• 1/23: does anyone know when the letters are due? I'd like to follow-up with my recommenders and make sure they don't miss it, but I don't know when the deadline is...
• 1/27: My advisors received requests for letters yesterday, which was surprising as they did not receive requests earlier as others have. I did not receive any alerts myself. I do not know if they have been given a deadline, but I can ask.
• 1/27: that’s interesting. Apparently there are different timelines which might be due to sending the application materials to different people to read.
• 4/11: any updates?
• 4/12: rejection
• 5/1: still waiting. any news?
• 1/17 - No news on Pomona College (x6)
• 2/3 - Still no news (x2)
• 2/8 no news for me either x3
• 2/10 still no news
• 2/15 Any news? --> (2/15) no news here
• 2/23 Still no news. I think at this point a rejection is imminent, any ideas of the process? R1: No news, last year I think they did interviews in February and rejections went out the first week of February (based on last year's Humanities wiki) so I was surprised to see no movement on the forum. They could just be running behind this year.
• 2/28 still no news- I wholeheartedly agree with R! above. While it doesn't necessarily look good, many of the timelines that have been concrete in the past for other postdocs are also running behind. While a rejection may be imminent, it seems evident to me that very little is running on time this year. --> x1 for no news yet
• 3/2 no news x1
• 3/23 not hopeful, but any news?
• 5/11 did anyone ever hear from Pomona? They've been so consistent with timelines in the past, the radio silence seems odd.
• 5/12 nothing here (rejection or otherwise)
• 5/17: I withdrew my application earlier in the spring when I accepted another offer and I'm surprised to see nobody posting about interviews or offers.
