Sixty-five recent Ph.D.s to begin two-year teaching and research appointments this fall
4/1/2011
ACLS is pleased to announce the 2011 cohort of New Faculty Fellows. In the second year of the program, 65 awards were made to recent Ph.D.s, allowing them to take up two-year positions at one of the over 80 participating universities and colleges across the United States. This initiative, supported by The Andrew Mellon Foundation, was rapidly developed and implemented in 2009 in response to the increasingly "jobless market" confronting Ph.D.s in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.
Nicole Stahlmann, director of fellowship programs at ACLS, stated, “While this is the last year of the initiative for the foreseeable future, we have been greatly encouraged by the enthusiastic support of the program’s institutional partners in ensuring that this cohort of young scholars takes the next step in their careers." Overall, the 2010 and 2011 New Faculty Fellows will be joining departments and programs at 47 institutions.
