Washington University in St. Louis announces the twenty-fifth year of Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry a postdoctoral fellowship program endowed by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching across the humanities and interpretive social sciences. We invite applications from recent PhDs DPhils or D.F.A.s (with degree in hand by June 30 2026 and no earlier than June 30 2023) who have not previously held a research-oriented postdoctoral fellowship. This fellowship program is housed in WashUs Center for the Humanities. This year we are recruiting one fellow. We are interested in interdisciplinary scholars whose research employs historical methods and approaches as an integral part of their interdisciplinary research.
In mid-August 2026 the newly selected Fellow will join the interdisciplinary community at the Center for the Humanities. Each fellowship is anticipated to run for two academic years. Postdoctoral Fellows pursue their own continuing research in association with a senior faculty mentor at WU. During the two years of their fellowship they will teach two courses. Fellows are expected to remain in residence during all semesters of their appointment.
