TRINITY COLLEGE - Hartford, CT - THE ANN PLATO FELLOWSHIP
The Ann Plato Fellowship, named for a 19th-century African-American poet, essayist, and teacher, supports a doctoral student who is an American citizen and is engaged in writing his or her dissertation.

Applicants from historically underrepresented groups, including African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and US Latinos, are especially encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates working in fields currently supported by the College. The Fellow enjoys faculty status, delivers a formal, public lecture in the fall semester, and teaches one course in the spring semester. The fellow is expected to be in residence during the fellowship tenure and to become engaged in the Trinity College community.

The Fellowship provides a $32,000 stipend; a campus apartment; an office; use of a computer; library privileges at Trinity, including the Watkinson Library, and our consortial colleges, and ready access to Hartford-area archives, including the Connecticut Historical Society, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the state library, the Cities Data Center, and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center. Appointment is for one academic year.

Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a copy of their dissertation proposal, a 10-20 page writing sample, and three letters of recommendation to the Ann Plato Search Committee, c/o Janet Marotto, Williams 232, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106 by December 15, 2003.
