2017-2018 Mellon Faculty Fellowships in Digital Humanities

The College of Arts and Science invites applications for Mellon Faculty Fellowships in Digital Humanities for the 2017-18 academic year.

The Center for Digital Humanities opened in fall 2016 and serves as a focal point for digital humanities scholarship at Vanderbilt. Through a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the College of Arts and Science will offer four one-year Mellon Faculty Fellowships for Vanderbilt faculty engaged in digital humanities research.

Mellon Faculty Fellows will spend an academic year working on their own digital scholarship projects, as well as leading and contributing to the Digital Humanities Colloquium and workshops. They will have full access to the Creative Media Lab located in the Digital Humanities Center.

Departments of selected Mellon Faculty Fellows will receive funds to replace one course during the year, and each Faculty Fellow will receive $10,000 for research related to digital humanities projects. Faculty Fellows will have opportunities to participate in the Mellon Partners for Humanities Education collaboration; applications of faculty already active in the Mellon Partners for Humanities Education project may receive special consideration.

Applications should include:

1. Application Form;
2. Curriculum Vitae;
3. A statement about interest in and preparation for digital humanities scholarship and a description of the proposed research project (3-5 pages);
4. A brief outline of the proposed research budget (1 page).

To apply, please complete the form and upload all materials here no later than March 20, 2017.
