Assistant Professor/Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The seven founding UM faculty members hailed from Economics, German, English, the Law School, the School of Natural Resources and Environment (now SEAS), and the Medical School, including the then president of the university, Robben Fleming.

The Society draws together fellows from across all scholarly and artistic fields to stimulate cross-disciplinary awareness and exchange. Out of these conversations come new ideas, new methodological experiments, and even new collaborative projects. We welcome six postdoctoral fellows each year for a term of three years, and a group of senior fellows, drawn from distinguished faculty across the University of Michigan, for a term of four years. The Society seeks to have among its fellows a rough balance among the Biological & Physical Sciences, Engineering & Public Health, Social Sciences & Education, and Humanities & Arts. Fellows are invited to the Society not only because their scholarship or artistic expression is compelling, timely, pathbreaking and imaginative but also because their work will thrive best in a space where multiple fields of inquiry converge.
