Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching. Two postdoctoral fellows will be selected for a two-year appointment beginning July 1, 2004 at a stipend of $36,000 per year plus $2,000 moving and research fund. Fellows will teach two courses per academic year, will be expected to make significant progress in their research, and will also participate in the intellectual life of relevant departments, programs, and Center research groups.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Consciousness and Thought -- The study of the human mind from a multidisciplinary perspective, integrating ideas at the crossroads of philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. Areas of interest may include the nature and functioning of consciousness, cognitive models and structures, the basis of human reason, and the relation of thought and language.
