The Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities at
Wellesley College is pleased to announce the Newhouse resident
fellowships for academic year 2010-2011.

Newhouse Faculty Fellowships are open to both junior and senior
faculty members at other institutions. In addition to
salary-replacement stipends of $50,000, Newhouse faculty fellows
will receive up to $3,000 in research support. It is expected that
external faculty fellows will combine their Newhouse Center
stipends with support from other granting agencies or their home
institutions.

The Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities at
Wellesley College was established by a generous gift from Susan
and Donald Newhouse in 2004. The Newhouse Center aims to promote
excellence and innovation in humanistic studies. The Newhouse
Center occupies a central space in the Wellesley campus and hosts
eight to ten resident fellows each year. Wellesley faculty members
on sabbatical and visiting scholars from other institutions. In
some years, the Newhouse Center is also able to host Mellon
Postdoctoral fellows, but these postdoctoral openings will be
advertised by individual academic departments or programs: the
application procedures below are for Newhouse Faculty Fellowships
only.

Resident fellows will devote themselves primarily to their own
research, but will also participate actively in the intellectual
life of the institution, participating in programming and events
as appropriate,sharing their work in progress, and serving, if they
choose, as mentors to student research assistants. Beginning in
2010-11, Newhouse Faculty Fellows will be given the opportunity to
work with the Director to design a program in which to present
his/her work to the larger community while in residence - e.g.short
lecture series, interdisciplinary panel, min-conference, etc.
