in the Humanities
Call for Applications, 2010–2011 (Closed) Topic: Virtuality
Fittingly for our Forum on Virtuality, the Penn Humanities Forum is changing its Fellowship application procedure. We are moving entirely to online submissions and will no longer be accepting applications via postal mail (email submissions will also be considered ineligible). Please follow the instructions below carefully.
Important note: if you downloaded form before 15 July 09, you will need to resubmit using updated application, which incorporates a new question 14 originally omitted in error.
•
The file name should read only:
your last name_first initial.doc (smith_p.doc)
2. ARRANGE FOR THREE (3) LETTERS OF
RECOMMENDATION
•
Contact each referee now We strongly encourage you to contact each referee immediately with your request, calling his or her attention to the absolute deadline of October 15, 2009.
•
Referee deadline Referees must email their letters of recommendation no later than the October 15 deadline. Referees should email their confidential letters directly to the Penn Humanities Forum(phf[at]sas.upenn.edu), with the subject line: Postdoc Ref. for <insert your name>. Letters may be submitted as either a PDF or a Word document.
•
Letters should not be merely testimonials, but instead should contain a substantive appraisal of your ability as it relates specifically to your field and proposed research. For this reason, we strongly advise against submitting letters forwarded by a dossier service or career placement office.

We request three letters only.
Any additional letters will not be considered.
