Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Performing and Media Arts With
the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department of Performing
and Media Arts invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral
Fellowship position beginning August 1, 2020. The fellowship offers a stipend
of $53,000/year. Cornell’s Department
of Performing and Media Arts seeks a postdoctoral fellow with research/creative
projects and teaching interests that cross the boundaries between theory and
practice in one or more of the following areas: dance, cinema, media, or live
performance. Interdisciplinary expertise and teaching experience are desirable. We would
like to recruit a postdoc whose work crosses the boundaries of theory and
practice, who is invested in innovative and experimental research methods, and
who brings these methods into the classroom. The successful candidate will also
engage in the intellectual and creative life of the department and Cornell at
large. We are interested in recruiting candidates who demonstrate commitment to
the highest standards of scholarship, teaching, and professional activity
consistent with a Research I university. Postdoctoral
Fellows teach one course per semester. Candidates should submit a course
proposal (up to 300 words, including key texts/media) for an undergraduate
seminar that showcases the applicant’s pedagogical commitments and teaching
strategies.
