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.

Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities
University of Toronto
Toronto, Canada
The Jackman Humanities Institute (JHI) is pleased to announce Postdoctoral Fellowships with the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Up to three Fellows in the Humanities* will be selected each year for a two-year fellowship in the new Jackman Humanities Institute. The postdoctoral fellows will be part of a larger circle of residential fellows working on individual research projects linked by an annual theme as well as programming to link the fellows with the humanities faculty and students on the three campuses of the University of Toronto. Up to 25 fellows in total will be selected from intergenerational constituencies: internal faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students in their final year of writing, and undergraduates in their final year. All fellows, including the Postdoctoral Fellows, will be selected on the basis of accomplishment appropriate to their stage in their career, the promise of excellence and the relevance of their research to the annual theme.
The theme for 2010-2011 is: Image and Spectacle. Human beings make worlds appear by imagining and "imaging" them; they display worlds to others in performances. This cross-cultural theme embraces the study not only of how images relate to the reality of the world, but also of how both as individuals and as societies we generate images. The spectacle of performance, which was the origin of theory in the Ancient Greek world, leads to many kinds of reflection--from performativity to epistemology, from theories of history to literary and aesthetic theory, from cultural criticism to palaeography. It extends ultimately to examining the role of reflection (speculation) and criticism of images and their worlds.
The Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to provide financial and intellectual support for outstanding scholars at the beginning of their professional careers. The Fellows will pursue their individual research in the context of the JHI. They will have offices at the JHI and will participate in weekly seminars and other activities in the circle of fellows. In addition, each Fellow will be affiliated with a Department and will teach one course each Fall and Winter term of their two-year fellowship. We are especially interested in candidates who have an interest in and capacity for interdisciplinary work of a high quality. The Fellowship provides an annual $50,000 (Canadian) stipend. We invite applications from qualified candidates for fellowships to begin 1 July 2010. Applications are on-line at our website, www.humanities.utoronto.ca and all materials and referees letters are due by Tuesday December 1, 2009.
For more information, consult our website. Awards will be announced in March 2010.
* The Jackman Humanities Institute interprets "Humanities" as a broad category, including political theory, interpretative social science, music and the arts.
Eligible applicants must have successfully defended their Ph.D. after July 2007 and prior to May 1, 2010. Applicants who will successfully defend their Ph.D. degree by May 1, 2010 are eligible and any award will be conditional on a successful defense. Such applicants must also include a letter of confirmation from their supervisor and the Chair of their Department. Degree candidates and recipients of the Ph.D. from The University of Toronto are not eligible. Fellowships are open to citizens of Canada, the United States, and other nations. The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
Application Procedure: Please complete an application on the Jackman Humanities Institute website at www.humanities.utoronto.ca by December 1, 2009.
1. Full userID registration at the JHI website at www.humanities.utoronto.ca
2. The online application form (click Funding, select Mellon Post-doctoral Fellowships)

Off-campus research leave during academic terms will be permitted only in rare cases, only for brief periods of time, and only upon written application to the Director well in advance of the proposed leave.
Publications. Fellows are asked to cite their affiliation with the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Program at the Jackman Humanities Institute in any publications that result from work done during their tenure and to provide the JHI with copies of such published work.
Report on scholarship. At the end of each fellowship year, Fellows are asked to submit a written report on their activities and accomplishments during the year.
Activities.

Fellows are expected to participate in weekly lunch seminars, attend public events of the JHI, and to engage in conversation with other members about their intellectual concerns.
