Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships

Description

The Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships will be awarded to recent PhDs in anthropology and related fields who frequently lack the time and resources to publish their work, but their research is often the source of the discipline's most exciting new ideas. This program supports emerging scholars whose work has the potential to transform our understanding of what it means to be human. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, or subfield. Applicants can apply regardless of institutional affiliation, country of residence, or nationality. Independent scholars are encouraged to apply. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that emphasize comparative perspectives, are likely to generate innovative approaches or ideas, and/or integrate two or more subfields. Proposals for writing projects that can stand as a model for new genres of scholarly communication are also welcomed. Applicants should be no more than ten years beyond their PhD, with allowances made for periods of caregiving. Qualified scholars of any nationality or institutional affiliation may apply. The Foundation gives preference to applicants who are untenured or do not yet have a permanent academic position. Applicants will also be asked to provide answers to four questions about the project; and a resubmission statement if the applicant's application has been previously denied. The application portal opens 2 months before the deadline. Applications must be in English. Please visit the award's website for more information.
