The Dorothy F. Schmidt

Doctoral Fellowship in Somaesthetics

The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters invites applications for the Somaesthetics Doctoral Fellowship. The successful candidate will be an incoming or current student in the College's Ph.D. program in Comparative Studies.  Ideally, candidates will have an interest in a prospective dissertation topic or specific area of study related to the interdisciplinary field of somaesthetics. The Somaesthetics Fellow will work either 10 hours or 20 hours a week as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Center for Bond, Mind and Culture under the direction of Dr. Richard Shusterman, the Dorothy F. Schmidt Eminent Scholar in the Humanities. This assignment will be for Fall and Spring, while classes are in session. If the fellow’s assignment is only 10 hours at the Center will work an additional 10 hours a week in either Fall or Spring in one of the college’s allied departments (this may include a teaching assignment). The fellowship includes full tuition remission for all program credits and a stipend of $25,000 for the calendar year. Additional paid employment (in the summer and between semesters) could be available.

The fellowship appointment is normally renewable for up to a two year period. Thereafter students who receive the fellowship will transition to a standard GTAship in a department germane to their program of study following their fellowship year(s), and will be supported for a total of four years while enrolled in the program.
