Smith Colleges is seeking a Predoctoral Fellow for the academic year 
2008-2009 whose area of expertise falls within our theme of Animation (Making
Life Graphic) and Gender. By animation, we are interested in a broad
spectrum of work, from film, comics and graphic novels through to 
ways performanceand studio arts, science and technology and other disciplines (and
interdisciplines) make life move and change. We seek dissertation

interested in candidates who would contribute to the diversity of the
campus.

private liberal arts institutions while completing dissertation work, 
and carries a stipend of $30,000.00. Fellows will teach one course per 
semester, attend Fisher Center lectures and meetings, and present one colloquium.
