Cornell University Society for the Humanities is pleased to invite applications for Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in the humanities.

Depending on expertise, the lower-level course would be the introductory course in sociocultural or archaeological anthropology, our Cultural Diversity and Contemporary Issues course, or a first-year writing seminar on a mutually agreed topic. The upper-level course would be a seminar aimed at seniors and graduate students on a topic related to the themes outlined above.
