- Contact and biographical information about the applicant
- A cover letter (circa one page, single spaced), describing research and teaching interests to an interdisciplinary search committee
- Curriculum vitae
- Dissertation abstract (one to three pages, single spaced). Please note, that Linguistics applicants only are requested to provide a 1-3 page research statement, instead of a dissertation abstract.
- A sample of written work (article length, no longer than 40 pages, double spaced);
- Two letters of recommendation. As soon as you fill in the contact information for your letter writers, the system will send a message to them containing complete instructions on how to submit a letter on your behalf. You may want to fill in this section before completing the rest of the application in order to give your letter writers ample time to compose and submit their letters. Please be sure to follow up with your recommenders, as spam filters can interfere with the delivery of automated emails. Recommenders are encouraged to submit letters through our online application system, but those who wish to submit their letter via email should send them to mellonfellows@stanford.edu. Recommendation letters are due by the application deadline, and consideration of letters received after that date cannot be guaranteed
Note: Courses will be offered through standing Stanford departments; applicants should familiarize themselves with recent course offerings and department curricula.
