Andrew W. Mellon Sawyer Postdoctoral Fellowship at Indiana University

Posted on November 15, 2009 | Leave a comment
Call for 2010-11 Mellon Sawyer Fellowship – Rupture and Flow: The 
Circulation of Technoscientific Facts and Objects

Receipt deadline: March 1, 2010

The Sawyer Seminar and the Institute of Advanced Study at Indiana 
University will award one Andrew W. Mellon Sawyer Postdoctoral 
Fellowships for a one-year appointment beginning July 1, 2010. The 
Fellow will receive a stipend of $40,000 per year, as well as health 
insurance and an allowance for relocation. This Sawyer Seminar is 
based in science and technology studies and focuses specifically on 
how facts and technologies circulate among diverse communities of 
producers and consumers, acquiring or losing credibility and utility 
as they move. We will explore questions including: How has the 
treatment of failure and errors changed the practice of science across 
disciplines and over time? How and why do cultural, social and 
material forces interrupt or thwart the circulation of 
technoscientific knowledge and objects, and with what consequences for 
what kinds of communities? How do social, cultural, political, and 
legal barriers influence technological change historically and 
geographically? How is the increasing use of lay-produced science 
shifting what is acknowledged and implemented in scientific practice 
and policy? Applicants for this postdoctoral fellowship must have 
research projects that speak to the concerns raised by the circulation 
of technoscientific knowledge and objects, and the possibilities and 
consequences of interrupting, reorienting, or preventing this 
circulation. Besides pursuing his or her own research, the fellowship 
recipient will play an active role in the intellectual life of the 
Sawyer Seminar by helping to organize an ongoing seminar series and 
four workshops. There will be no teaching responsibilities.

Selection Process

Each proposal will be evaluated by the conveners of the Sawyer 
Seminar, an interdisciplinary group of IU faculty. The primary 
evaluation criteria will be intellectual fit with the core ideas of 
the Seminar, and the promise of the proposed research project, 
including prospects for publication and significant advances in 
tangible research. We strongly recommend applicants read the full 
proposal, available at http://sawyer.indiana.edu before beginning 
their application. Applicants will be notified of fellowship decisions 
in May 2010.

Requirements

Applicants should have completed the Ph.D. in STS, Sociology, 
Informatics, Geography, History, English, Anthropology, Philosophy, 
Comparative Literature, or other related fields no earlier than June 
30, 2005 and no later than August 1, 2010. We require proof that the 
fellow has received a Ph.D. degree before taking up residence. 
Applicants are welcome to send paper copies by mail or delivery to –

Ivona Hedin, Institute for Advanced Study,
Poplars 335, 400 E. 7th Street , Indiana University
Bloomington, IN 47405

The application should include:

    * 1000-word research project proposal and one-page bibliography, 
in language appropriate for a multi- disciplinary panel. Please double- space and use 12-point type.
    * 250-word statement of the project’s potential contribution to 
Indiana University’s Sawyer seminar
    * Curriculum vitae
    * Three letters of recommendation

Fellowship recipients cannot currently hold a tenure-track position.

Indiana University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity 
employer. Scholars who are members of traditionally under-represented 
groups are encouraged to apply. There is no citizenship requirement or 
restriction for this fellowship. Non-U.S. nationals are welcome to 
apply. Employment eligibility verifications requested upon hire.
