Columbia University Postdoctoral Fellowship in Translation, 2002-2003

The East Asian Institute has established this fellowship with the
purpose of producing first-rate English translations of scholarship in
East Asian languages in any field (excluding fiction). The Fellow is
obligated to spend half time translating, checking, and editing in order
to submit a completed manuscript by the end of the year, which the
Institute will place with a publisher. The other half of the time is
devoted to the Fellow's own research or writing. The stipend is $35,000.
The grant begins September 2002 and the Ph.D. must be in hand by July 1,
2002.

Candidates should send a proposal for a translated volume (a reader, a
single text, etc.) that can be completed within the grant period; a
sample translation from the project of at least ten manuscript pages in
length; a curriculum vitae; and two recommendations, each including
comments on language, translation, and writing skills.

Send materials to: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Translation, East Asian
Institute, Columbia University, 912 International Affairs Building, Mail
Code 3333, 420 West 118th Street, New York, NY 10027.

Deadline for receipt of all materials in April 1, 2002
