The Department of History of Art and Visual Studies at Cornell University solicits applications for doctoral/postdoctoral diversity fellowships from scholars who show promise of distinguished research careers.  Eligible applicants might be from underrepresented groups, have faced economic hardship, be first-generation college graduates, or work on topics related to these areas.  Both three-year combination doctoral-postdoctoral fellowships and two-year postdoctoral fellowships are available.  A fellowship will be awarded only if the department believes the applicant would make a very strong candidate for a tenure-track position that the department expects to have open in the next two-to-three years.  2012-13 award levels—doctoral: $31,000; postdoctoral: $56,000.  Applications: deadline, November 7; send to ude.llenrocobfsctd-4f27db@252fm.  For more information, see
