THE
AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED SOCIETIES -- NEW YORK, NY
Director
of Fellowship Programs. The mission of the ACLS, founded
in 1919, is to advance humanistic studies in all fields
of learning in the humanities and related social sciences
and to maintain and strengthen relations among national
societies devoted to such studies.
ACLS
is nationally known and respected as a funder of
humanities research through fellowships and grants
awarded to individuals and, on occasion, to groups and
institutions. The centerpiece of this work is the ACLS
Fellowship Program. Over the past 60 years more than
4,000 scholars have held ACLS Fellowships, including many
of the leading figures in the humanities today. In 1997,
ACLS began a campaign to double its endowment devoted to
fellowships. The success of the campaign thus far has
increased the Councilís capacity to support
scholarship. In the most recently concluded competition
for ACLS Fellowships, more than 120 scholars received
awards totaling $4.8 million. The Director of Fellowship
Programs will thus be at the center of a major national
program, which is in the process of significant
reinvigoration.
The
Director, under the direction of the President, will
organize screening and peer review panels; preside at
meetings of the selection panels; conduct research on the
distribution of fellowship awards in this and other
national fellowship programs; present periodic reports to
the ACLS Board of Directors; help develop and fund new
programs that fit with the Councilís mission; and
supervise the programsí administration. As a
member of the Councilís relatively small program
staff, the Director also will contribute to the general
work of ACLS.
Applicants
must hold a Ph.D. in a field represented by ACLS, possess
excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and
demonstrate interest, experience and effectiveness in
academic administration. Broad familiarity with
humanities scholarship, while not a necessary
qualification, is highly desirable.
Nominations
and applications (including a c.v. and the names and
addresses of at least three references) should be sent
