The Department of Near Eastern Studies invites applications for a Stanford H. Taylor Postdoctoral Fellowship. Area of research specialization within Near Eastern Studies is open, but the successful candidate will expand rather than replicate current areas of faculty expertise. The term of the fellowship is two years, with the appointment beginning in August of 2016. Fellows will teach three courses during the term of their appointment, one each semester for three semesters with a fourth semester free of teaching obligations. Fellows are expected to be in residence for the term of the appointment and to take an active role in the intellectual life of their home department, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the university.
Fellows will be provided with an annual stipend of $55,000, full benefits, and a research account of $6,000. Eligibility is limited to candidates whose PhD was conferred in 2014 or 2015 or will be conferred by August 1, 2016.
