Qatar is a liberal, hospitable and progressive country in the Arabian Gulf. English is the standard second language and the population of Qatar is approximately 1.65 million and growing – 350,000 Qatari, 15,000 US citizens, the remainder expatriates. Doha with a population of 980,000 has all the conveniences found in a contemporary city, and also maintains a traditional Arab flavor, evident in the old markets and the city’s Islamic Arab architecture. The new Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I.M.Pei opened in November 2008. The US Embassy considers Qatar among the safest countries in the world for Americans.

Newberry Library Fellowships in the Humanities, 2010-2011
The Newberry's fellowships support humanities research in our collections. Our collections are wide-ranging, rich, and sometimes a little eccentric. If you study the humanities, chances are good we have something for you. We promise you remarkable collections; a lively interdisciplinary community of researchers; individual consultations on your research with staff curators, librarians, and scholars; and an array of scholarly and public programs.
LONG-TERM FELLOWSHIPS
These awards support research and writing by scholars with a doctorate. Their purpose is to help fellows develop or complete larger-scale studies that draw on our collections, and to foster intellectual exchange among fellows and the Library community. Fellowship terms range from six to eleven months with stipends of up to $50,400.
Long-term applications are due January 11, 2010.
Major long-term fellowship funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Dr. Audrey Lumsden-Kouvel.
SHORT-TERM FELLOWSHIPS
Ph.D. candidates and scholars with a doctorate are eligible for short-term travel-to-collections fellowships. Their purpose is to help researchers study specific materials at the Newberry that are not readily available to them elsewhere. Short-term fellowships are usually awarded for a period of one month. Most are restricted to scholars who live and work outside the Chicago area. Stipends are $1600 per month.
NEW: We invite short-term fellowship applications from teams of two or three scholars who plan to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project. The individual scholars on a team awarded a fellowship will each receive a full stipend of $1600 per month. Teams should submit a single application, including cover sheets and CVs from each member.
Short-term applications are due March 1, 2010.
We also offer exchange fellowships with British, French and German institutions, a fellowship for American Indian women pursuing any post-graduate education, and a fellowship for published independent scholars.

Endowed Chair in Art History
Southern Methodist University
Dallas, Texas
The Department of Art History, Meadows School of the Arts at SMU, is pleased to advertise the first of two new endowed chairs in "Rhetorics of Art, Space, and Culture." We seek applications from scholars whose work interrogates the development and use of visual media within historical cultures and societies in any period (ancient through present), or region of the world (Europe, the Near East, the Americas, Asia, Africa, Oceania, or Diasporic). We particularly encourage applicants whose work crosses disciplinary boundaries, is methodologically innovative, and/or is engaged with emerging fields.
The rubric "Rhetorics of Art, Space, and Culture" (RASCa) marks a new curricular initiative, undergraduate and graduate, rooted in the fields both of art history and visual culture studies. It builds upon the strengths of the present faculty with renewed emphasis on historical and new media, visual technologies, architecture and the city, performance and ritual, and the cultural construction of race, gender and ethnicity. Emphasizing spatial as well as visual culture, RASCa extends the department's commitment to the study of technologies of visual communication, while also advancing transnational scholarship in Arts of Latin America, Iberia, and the Americas, currently a focal point in our research and teaching.
A distinguished record of scholarly publications, excellence in teaching, and a Ph.D. are required. The successful candidate will help refine this new curricular initiative and will contribute centrally to the initiation of a doctoral program beginning in 2011.
Proposed starting date: August 2010.
Application: Applicants should submit a detailed letter and CV to Dr. Greg Warden, Southern Methodist University, Meadows School of the Arts, PO Box 750356, Dallas, TX 75275-0356. We encourage digital applications (arthistorysearch@smu.edu): E-mailed files should be saved to smallest size. To retain font and formatting integrity, save documents in pdf format. Letters of recommendation may be scanned and sent as .jpg files. All digital material must be fully functioning on both PC and Mac platforms.
Applications ideally should be postmarked by January 10, 2010 but the committee will continue to accept them until the position is filled, at which point they will notify applicants of their decision. Hiring is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check.
SMU: SMU is a private university of 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students, located in Dallas. Established in 1911, SMU offers an intellectually diverse, non-denominational campus environment dedicated to the University's founding principles of education in the liberal arts. Resources on campus include SMU's Meadows Museum, one of the premier collections of Spanish and Latin American art in the US.

SMU's DeGolyer Library houses extensive archives and printed materials from the US and Latin America. The wider Dallas/Ft. Worth area is home to many internationally recognized museums, including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum, and the Dallas Latino Cultural Center.

The Wolfsonian-FIU Fellowship Program
The Wolfsonian-Florida International University is a museum and research center that promotes the examination of modern visual and material culture. The Wolfsonian's fellowship program is intended to support research on the museum's collection, generally for periods of three to four weeks. The program is open to holders of master's or doctoral degrees, Ph.D. candidates, and others who have a significant record of professional achievement in relevant fields.
The theme for the fellowship program for 2010-11 is Design and Health. We welcome applications from scholars in any field in the humanities who propose to investigate the links between design and health from the late nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth century. We intend both of these terms to be understood in a broad sense: "Design" to include a range of practices, such as product design, graphic design, interior design, architecture, and urban planning; "Health" to include such concerns as personal hygiene and fitness, public health, medicine, body image, and disability.
The focus of the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and European decorative arts, propaganda, architecture, and industrial and graphic design from the period 1885-1945. The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands are the countries most extensively represented. There are also smaller but significant collections of materials from a number of other countries, including Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, the former Soviet Union, and Hungary. The collection includes works on paper (including posters, prints, and design drawings), furniture, paintings, sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics, lighting and other appliances, and many other kinds of objects. The Wolfsonian's library has approximately 50,000 rare books, periodicals, and ephemeral items.
The Wolfsonian's collection has many objects and publications that may support research on the connections between design and health. Among these are: books and periodicals about physical culture, especially in the United States; publications on interior design, architecture, housing reform, and urban planning; design drawings for a great variety of building types; advertisements for health resorts; personal or household objects, such as razors, massagers, sunlamps, and vacuum cleaners; and publicity for health and fitness campaigns.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss their project with the museum staff prior to submission to ensure the relevance of their proposals to the Wolfsonian's collection.
