The Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in the Humanities program is a unique opportunity for recent PhD recipients in the humanities to develop as scholars and teachers. Up to four fellowships will be awarded for a two-year term. Fellows teach two courses per year in one of Stanford’s humanities departments or interdisciplinary programs, where they will be provided office space and a faculty mentor. Program admissions focus on selected fields of scholarship in each application year. Applicants are invited to apply for fellowships in fields where their work has demonstrable relevance to teaching and research in the designated Stanford department. The fellows receive a stipend of $95,000, a research fund, and a full package of employee benefits.
