New humanities fellowship supplements sabbatical

The Institute for Research in the Humanities calls for applications for a new sabbatical fellowship to commence in academic year 2004-05. The fellowship will supplement a senior faculty member’s sabbatical salary to bring it to a full 100 percent. The sabbatical fellow will not be allowed to receive any forms of fellowship or salary support besides the sabbatical salary and the IRH supplement.

All faculty engaged in a major humanities research project who have been awarded a sabbatical will be eligible to apply, except for former senior fellows of the IRH. The appointee will be a full member of the IRH for the 2004-05 year and receive the usual forms of research support, including an office, and will be expected to participate in the IRH’s seminars and to give a seminar presentation.

Applications, which should include eight copies of a 1,200-word description of the project and eight copies of a curriculum vitae as well as four letters of recommendation, are due by Friday, Jan. 16, to the Humanities Research Institute, 1401 Observatory Drive. Results will be announced by March 1. Information: Loretta Freiling, 262-3855 or freiling@facstaff.wisc.edu.
