Please distribute as broadly as possible-and specially invite dissertation
students you may know who might benefit by a year to finish work while in
residence at one of our colleges.
Five College Fellowship Program 2012-13
******
Five Colleges is pleased to announce its search for Fellows for the 2012-2013
academic year.
Five College Fellowships offer year-long residencies for doctoral students
completing dissertations. The program supports scholars from under-represented
groups and/or scholars with unique interests and histories whose engagement in
the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching. This year we expect to award
four fellowships for 2012-13.
Each Fellow will be hosted within an appropriate department or program at
Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At
Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Applications are to the
program, not to a specific hosting campus.
This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are provided research and teaching
mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and scholars
across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also supports
meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.
The fellowship includes a $30,000 stipend, a research grant, health benefits,
office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges at all five
campuses belonging to the consortium.
While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation, most
fellows teach at their hosting institution, but never more than a single
one-semester course.
To apply: Application is online through the Human Resources office at Smith
College, which has agreed to administer this search on behalf of the
Consortium.

Stipend: $30,000
Review of Applications Begins: January 2, 2012
Awards Announced: March, 2012
